Much love .
I am glad to see your post. Continuing in prayer for you and those who take care of you.
I found tears in my eyes and my heart ached for you. Please, no regrets you wrote. You expressed very well what so many feel and experience. It is many years since my infant sister died , but I still feel pain. I don’t dwell , but recently raw emotions have come up. There are many other losses and anniversary dates to contribute to the sorrow. I am grateful you wrote , because you still press on and put one foot in front of the other.

I found tears in my eyes and my heart ached for you. Please, no regrets you wrote. You expressed very well what so many feel and experience. It is many years since my infant sister died , but I still feel pain. I don’t dwell , but recently raw emotions have come up. There are many other losses and anniversary dates to contribute to the sorrow. I am grateful you wrote , because you still press on and put one foot in front of the other. You manage to deftly get necessities taken care of. You just made me feel connected and stronger and I will follow your example. And, yes, it is significant you found a dress to wear that you are comfortable with to show your respect for your father as well as the tradition of outwardly expressing grief without words. Much love to you. Thank you for sharing your courage.
I found myself going to thoughts of you and others who experience difficulties. I’ve said several Rosary’s with intentions for you, those who are in contact with you, healing, and for your surgeons and the complete team with audiologists who will follow you. I cannot say, but I was guided to devote time to this. Gladly. We are hours and thousands of miles apart….I strongly believe the prayers of this community will carry you and your loved ones. Starting the Memorare … and wi...
I found myself going to thoughts of you and others who experience difficulties. I’ve said several Rosary’s with intentions for you, those who are in contact with you, healing, and for your surgeons and the complete team with audiologists who will follow you. I cannot say, but I was guided to devote time to this. Gladly. We are hours and thousands of miles apart….I strongly believe the prayers of this community will carry you and your loved ones. Starting the Memorare … and will faithfully bring intentions …. This is not a attention seeking post…..I know there are others here of different beliefs. I believe their impact is strong. Rest that you are in proper care…you show up and others will do the work… You’re on my calendar…the one in my mind and in the house.
Sandra, I am sorry for your and your family’s loss. Wishing you peace in the spaces you can find…allow rest where you can.
I was hoping before I got to end of your post that you were writing what good happened to you or that you gave!! I was raised Catholic ….truly understand. What we learned as young kids stays with us… but we can turn it around like you did . Glad!
Anna, I will start a Novena for you. And I’ll continue … I think you’re courageous . And I’m grateful you are receiving what you need..
Excellent, Drew.!!! Feeling of accomplishment and belief you can do more! Much love and encouragement!
Wishing you well, Anjani.
I think of you so very far from where I live…you are remembered.
Have you any idea you are healing others by your story? I saw my mother, myself, and an incredibly brave and insightful woman-you.
Elaine, you are a dear soul.
I understand…truly….I now understand that having very little at one time was not such a burden…I am cleaning out more and more. I hold things to my heart and say good-bye and share with others…..and the things and clothing, furniture goes to Threads of Hope… I tried to make up for the emptiness and feeling of not thinking I was valuable when younger by collecting things. It did not work. I feel freedom in simplicity. Your story and Anna’...
I understand…truly….I now understand that having very little at one time was not such a burden…I am cleaning out more and more. I hold things to my heart and say good-bye and share with others…..and the things and clothing, furniture goes to Threads of Hope… I tried to make up for the emptiness and feeling of not thinking I was valuable when younger by collecting things. It did not work. I feel freedom in simplicity. Your story and Anna’s….resonated with me. I had to put cardboard in my shoes as they broke down. I had asked for shoes but was received angrily….when I look back, I see I was a 9 year old who was able to figure how to get by. Pretty good, I think. When I purchase something new, something must leave the house…freedom.
You are brave. You are wonderful. You are the inspiration I saw and felt when I worked as an RN, CCRN-CMC. You give without knowing. I wish you well. I will keep you in my prayers and all who are responsible for looking after you. Your work is the hardest. Honor and admiration is coming your way.
Oh, boy, Holly…we must have tea….and reading some of your posts is giving me courage to consider getting a pet. I feel I need the beauty and humor of pets around me.
Love to you, Anna. I heard part of my life’s story in your words. I advised my daughters years ago to approach people with love in the worst of situations. It did not mean they had to love the person…because that can be near impossible sometimes….but approaching with love brings out compassion, calmness, and people get that even if it is unexpected….I have no doubt you and Cintia do this without forcing it…it’s wisdom.
Blessings to you and on your new home. It is so nice to see your post.
Agree. God bless, Drew. Well said.
Praying for your Santa he fares well.
