[Closed] Prayers and/or Energetic Healing Needed Part 2

Thank you everyone for your beautiful words and prayers on Saturday for my daughter's wedding.

@cindy @journeywithme2 @cc21

The wedding turned out to be simply amazing. 

There were some hiccups of course, including one of the embroidered button loops  breaking on my daughter's dress and needing to call a friend to run to a store and get embroidery thread and a needle an hour before the wedding.  Her sister sewed it back on just in time.

Yes, I was a bit scattered.  haha

One of the things I was not expecting was how during the "getting" ready process ( which takes hours) and switching to a small clutch purse, I would keep loosing things because I had no room in the clutch for them and had no pockets.  My phone, car keys, room key ( room kept disappearing underneath things and yes I know ),

The best man was not allowed to join the wedding rehearsal because of his covid status but was given doctor's permission to attend the wedding and stand up for his brother the groom in time for the actual wedding which was a big relief to the groom and his family. 

An unexpected moment was when my dad bent down in his suit to help my daughter put on her shoes.  It was precious. The room got completely silent and the photographer snapped shots of the whole thing. She said she had never seen anything like it. He didn't want me or any of the bridal party to do it in our long gowns.  He also carried her train around as she went out for pictures.  It was absolutely adorable.

Thanks for giving us the update! I am so happy to hear of your beautiful day! I am glad that the best man was able to attend the wedding and stand up for his brother.  And what a wonderful, special time with your Dad helping the bride. Simply lovely. 

Thank you all for sending healing to Hallie, it is much appreciated. 💕💕💕 Hopefully I will find a new vet who can isolate the problem. It's so hard to see a pet suffer. 

@JourneyWithMe2 I've had sciatica for many years but recently discovered a sleeping position that helped me dramatically.  I've always slept on my side, used the pillows between the legs etc but still had pain. One of my friends suggested I stretch my lower back while  laying on my side in bed by pulling my legs up sort of like a fetal position.  The pain stopped during my stretch and I fell asleep like that, woke up in the same position in the morning. My pain was very minor compared to normal. Might be with trying to see if it helps you.

@lovendures thank you for sharing your family’s special day.   I knew and prayed all would go on as you had hoped. I think all the little hiccups make the day even more special.  What stories and beautiful memories you will have to tell your grandchildren one day.   It’s the beautiful things that family and love for each other bring in focus.  Blessings to all always.   ❤️🥂🍾

@journeywithme2 I had not heard of this issue. I will check it out for Hallie. Thank you!

@mb Ongoing prayers for finding out her needs and getting proper treatment for her. Much Love and Light to you both.

and thank you for the suggestion for me! I am a side sleeper also and used the pillow between the knees as well... will definitely try this!!!

@lovendures Ok now I am crying.. I see it.. soooo beautiful and heartfelt. Love it all and thank you for sharing that joyous momentous moment.... Those are going to be totally awesome photographs.. I see one in a dark cherry wood frame...Love it!!!!

@journeywithme2 

Thank you!  I was truly a beautiful, love filled day.  It was definitely guided by spirit as well.  

Hi, an update on my sister. Her broken neck isn’t healing, it is actually getting worse. Next week she will be having an operation to put pins into it, 2 specialists will be doing it. It is complicated by her osteoporosis which is why it isn’t healing. It is a bit fraught as a lot of things could go wrong, from nerve damage, paralysis, heart attack etc. My brother in law and nieces are under a lot of stress.

Hopefully all will be well.

Regards to all

I am very sorry to hear that things aren't going well for your sister and surgery will be needed. It is understandable her family is stressed.

May her surgery go well.  May the doctors be guided to her he in the best way possible.  May she heal quickly and fully and may her family fell supported and loved.

@matildagirl I am so sorry to hear about what she is going through - thinking of her and sending healing strength for all 

@matildagirl  Lifting all in prayers for the Highest Good for All Concerned and sending much Light and Love and healing Energy .

@matildagirl Sending angels to your sister's side and to you too, to help you through this. I know how much we can love our sister.  I have one too.  It's like no other love.  So I especially feel your distress and am glad you reached out to us.

@jeanne-mayell thank you Jeanne, she is the last sister I have left. My 2 other sisters and an older brother have died. They were in their mid 70’s so not really old but good old lung cancer did it’s thing. Hate cigarettes. I was the only non smoker in my family. They gave up smoking many years before but it still had done the damage. Mum died from lung cancer as well but in her case she gave it up 3weeks before she died. Had decided she had now had enough.

Regards to all.

Hi Everyone,

I thought I’d reach out because I’ve been really struggling with anxiety/panic attacks and burnout. I gave birth to my second child on 12/31 and I’ve been dealing with pretty severe postpartum depression/anxiety. I am being treated for it but it’s not enough. I worry constantly about the baby- he recently stopped nursing and I have to pump enough milk for him instead. I supplement with formula and have thought of switching to just formula but the shortage means I can’t guarantee I can get him the formula he needs. I feel like that’s always hanging over me and every little thing has become an ordeal. I also worry constantly about my daughter and husband. I just want the anxiety to go away; the panic attacks have been so unbearable at times I’ve wished I could just be inpatient at a mental hospital so I don’t have to do everything anymore. Anyway, I know other people have truly difficult situations but I thought I’d reach out to see if anyone has any suggestions. I’m feeling like I’m hanging on by a thread all the time. Thanks everyone!

@nelysthealchemist I wish I had words that could make you feel better and I hesitated to post because I'm sure I do not.  But I do know how anxiety feels and how crippling it can be.  When I feel it coming on the first thing I try is to get more rest/sleep...which I'm sure isn't easy with a little one.  There are some supplements (GABA is one I use from time to time) that makes sleep easier. There's nothing wrong with talking with your doctor and see what they suggest.

It's such a stressful world right now but all any of us can do is "the best we can" and that doesn't look the same from day to day.  I'm glad you reached out and I just wanted to let you know I "hear" you and I wish you well.

@nelysthealchemist   Having a young baby is a serious test of anyone's sanity.  

Can you ask your husband for more help?  Any other family who could give you break now and then?    I wish I had asked for more help post-partum but I didn't because I felt I should just buck up and deal with a non-sleeping baby and postpartum depression (which at the time I didn't even realize I had).  I should have demanded my husband help me, or get help for me.

I think you need a break.  If your husband or other family won't help, would it be possible to hire someone?  

@nelysthealchemist Being male, I have not had your specific experience, but I do understand how your body is responding with anxiety and panic. When in great distress, as you report, I find it very helpful to consult with a doctor, preferably a psychiatrist.  Anxiety and panic are medical conditions, and there are treatments available, whether short or long-term. You deserve reasonable and appropriate care. You are not alone in this struggle. You have many allies. As you have reached out here, consider reaching out for medical assessment, if you haven't already.  And trust that you are in the prayers of many people, more than you likely know. Peace.

@nelysthealchemist 

I am encircling you with a whole bunch of love and light.

I strongly encourage you to let your husband know in strong terms that you need his help.  My husband would take the early morning shift after I nursed my daughters and that allowed me to fall back asleep of another hour or 2.  It saved me.  I had no family living in my city and we really needed to co-parent as much as possible.  He enjoyed bringing them out in the morning to watch the sunrise together and have some peaceful quietude together before the day really got started. 

I also had a blessed gift of a sweet señor lady from my church who weekly came to my home for 2.5 hours to spend time with my daughters when they were a babies through age 3.  This would allow me to run errands and visit the doctor and just have a few moments to myself.  It allowed her to be a "grandma" since her grandchildren were out of state.  The bond was so strong that she would then attend their dance and music recitals and come to functions as a grandparent.  She even attended my oldest wedding a few weeks ago.

Perhaps there is a senior person from your church, neighborhood, social organization or friend who might consider doing the same thing.  

I will keep you in prayer, that a helpful and supportive solution reveals itself, you recognize it and are able to utilize the positive gift however it manifests. I truly hope your voice is heard and your needs are met.

@nelysthealchemist Sending you loving, healing energy... and your household... and putting angels on your daily calendar... know you are loved and that you WILL get through this.
