I read it! And it helps to talk about it. I had a section of colon out Monday -and resected- and in hospital I had emotional breakdown (can be pretty normal after major surgery) and sat and talked it out with my nurse. It helps! The internet provides us with more social and emotional resources than we could use! Important to share how you feel! you Re not alone!

everything is so easy to "say" but so hard to "do"! I have had a rough life ...and a whole Heck of a lot of heartaches and violence-raise 3 girls alone- infact I just had surgery for cancer monday. The only thing that has turned me around is Gratitude! There must be some good life experiences and blessings in your life-are u in pain!? if not-be grateful, because So many of us are. ! The list goes on and on. Try to be grateful, it will turn your life around! FIND things in your life to be grateful for ! It helps.

I read it. And I am crying for you. I did have a good marriage. The only reason my husband died was because he was stubborn. He fell twice going to the bathroom during the night. I got a walker and begged him to use it at night. No, he said, I can do it myself. Well he sure did. Fell a third time and broke his femur. He was dead in three months. Lot of anger still. So here I am alone and angry. I am also tired of living but I am relatively healthy and can live by myself and take care of myself. So who knows how much longer. I applaud you and what you are doing.

Hi tersew7, so sorry that you are going through all this. Wish I could say some magic words to make you feel better. All I know is that your faith in God is wonderful and I hope that it will give you strength to get through your struggles. In the meantime do something nice for yourself. Buy some cupcakes or ice cream and sit in front of the TV and watch something that you like and just for a few minutes enjoy ...good luck !

I read your post as well. I am sorry for all that you are going through. I admire your faith in keeping you strong during these tough times.

My mother was very much like you, she passed away about a year ago at 93...she was a woman of strength and did so much for me and my brothers. She had a tough marriage and moved from a upper class family in another country to a working class household here without compliant. She also went through so much. So I can imagine how you must feel.

@casey1329 had a great idea about treating yourself. Even for a little bit.

Feel free to come here and express yourself. Someone will be listening.

You are heard. I’m sorry for your sorrows and pain. I read your post and will say a prayer for you.

Sometimes it feels like God has closed his eyes then faith is renewed and restored.

The one thing I know, is Jesus has been my fried my entire life. One that never leaves. I have a picture framed of Him at Gethsemane - the agony in the garden.
The daily reminder is his suffering was the worst of any pain. Knowing he did that for me I can accept my crosses for him so he can use that sacrifice - the pain and suffering to help another soul in need. I will offer my discomfort today for you so the supernatural can be reminded (though He knows everything)of your suffering and to hope he offers you relief in some way, some unexpected way.

God bless you and this community.

Ps…I just read the thread. I’m putting you in my daily offerings.
