Not having a good time

[sue943]

My 28 year old daughter was diagnosed with cervical cancer the other month, that was bad enough, then yesterday my son telephoned to tell me that he is in a psychiatric hospital, today my ex-husband sent me an email to say that our son is going to be detained against his wishes under the Mental Health Act (sectioned). He is nearly 27.

I have now had three years of appalling 'luck', first my son was found to be mentally ill three eyars ago. Then my hearing impaired daughter almost lost the sight in both eyes. Then I had kidney stones. My mother died prematurely due to negligence in hospital last year, then my endocarditis, stroke, OHS, heart block, then I lost my job then on to my daughter's cancer and now my son. When will it all end?

Sue. This is all very troubling news! I'm so sorry. It does seem that your family has had so much more than normal to deal with.

Hopefully your daughter's cancer was caught early. Also, hopefully, your son will get good treatment -- that is often half the battle, just getting them to the treatment.

Good luck with all of it!

My own illnesses I can take, it is those of my children which are so hard to bear.

 

[Wise]

Sue, I'm sorry to hear of all the tragedy and hard times you've endured. Just wanted to say that I'm being remembering you and your children in my thoughts and prayers. Best wishes, Wise.

Oh, Sue, this is just about more than one can bear. You have my greatest sympathy. Please take very very good care of yourself; there's nothing more dangerous to your health than multiple crises in your life.

I hope you're able to find some peace in your life. You have my good thoughts and prayers. Be sure you get to your doctor if you think you might need some help through all of this.

I am so sorry to hear about everything you and your family are going through. That is definitely quite a bit to handle at one time. I am sending cyberhugs your way and I pray that things start to look up for you and your family.

Take Care!

Gosh, Sue-

Life can throw some terrible things at us, one at a time is bad enough, but to have so many, many horrible things happening, it's just more than anyone should have to bear.

I have found that when things happen like that, the only way to survive is to triage your life. Take care of the worst things that don't have a good solution first. Make yourself a little list, sort of a plan. Let the ones that have a little leeway sit in the background. Then take care of each one in an orderly and controlled fashion, as best you can, day by day. It will make you feel more in control, and you will be able to think better.

I'll be thinking of you and wishing that these all get sorted out as soon as possible.

Oh Sue,
You really have had an awful run of luck.
I understand what you mean about your kids. I can't stand it when anything goes wrong in my children's lives.
I've learned when things are really, really bad to pray that God will give me the strength to bear it. He has never let me down.
You are in my prayers.
Mary

sue,

sue,

I am so sorry to hear about your problems. Sometimes mental illness is more scary than something physical. I can understand how you feel. My husband is a mild zchizophrenic. He was hospitalyzed in a locked mental ward for a week a few years ago. It was very hard to deal with. But now ,even though he cannot work, he takes his meds and is okay. He does not like being around several people at a time. He hates crowds.
I will keep you in my prayers.

{{{{{{{{{{{Sue}}}}}}}}}}}}}} first I send you giant cyber hugs!
I am very sorry to hear of the concerns for your family. I agree, those of our children are so much more painful than our own.
Praying for things to stabalize and that you may find the silver lining in the midst of this dark cloud.
My grandma always said .."find one good thing about today and rejoice in it" some days it may only be the breakfast you ate..

May tomorrow bring better news and happier times to you.

[geebee]

I wish I lived closer so I could come and hug you in person. Sometimes it just seems like we get more than we can handle. I will pray that things start to look up for you and your family.
Please let us know if we can help.

[sue943]

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. Yes I had one good thing to celebrate, my daughter is desperate to have a baby before she has to have a hysterectomy and was using the injection contraception until about seven months ago, then had a 'rod' inserted. She had the rod removed the day following her visit to the oncologist and she told me yesterday that she has now ovulated! She didn't know if she would. At least she stands a chance of a pregnancy.

 

[Sherry]

Sue, I agree with the others: you need a big cyberhug <<<<>>>>> You've really been through it this year and deserve some happy times. You are in my thoughts.

Comfort

Comfort

Dear Sue: i have looked at this thread many times, and struggled to find something to say that could give some small amount of comfort. I can't imagine how hard things are right now. I am praying for your daughter to have a healthy, bubbly, happy, baby. One thing I can say from experience is that nothing brings joy and peace to troubled times like a new child/grandchild. When I had my surgery, our clergy and many kind friends and relatives were there for my wife. A few weeks after I got home, we talked about the "waiting time" while I was in surgery. She said it was great to have friends, but there was no comfort that compared to holding our new grand-daughter close to her heart. I hope this baby comes at the perfect time, and that all these matters will be resolved as well, and as quickly as possible. It seems the heavens are filled with prayers for you. May the blessings come quickly with the profound strength that we so earnestly desire.
