    The shock of fresh grief

    in GRIEF

    Posted

    ((Lisa)),

    I'm sorry you are suffering so. I lost my Mom in Feb. earlier this year. I do understand I was and still am a total mama's girl. The only thing I found that helped is time. It has gotten a little better. But every now and then missing my Mom still jumps up and strangles me. Sending prayers your way that you will find peace.

    "Prolonged Grief Disorder"

    in GRIEF

    Posted

    I know how crippling grief can be. I can even understand that it could need to be treated if it is prolonged. But the article made it sound like in six months you should be all better and that just ain't so!

    Hi Larry,

    I'm one of the new names you don't know. Thought I would say hello since we're both Kansas people. Sorry about the loss of your wife, but glad to know that you are getting along okay.

    Michelle,

    I took care of my Mom when she was sick (congestive heart failure), and some days I just wanted to strangle her! But then on the other hand she is the one that took care of me during my cancer dx and treatment. She would just flat out tell me, "I don't know why you are being so nasty to me right now, but stop it"! I was turned totally inward and scared out of my mind. From what you've said hubby hasn't dealt with any of his emotions concerning his cancer. When I'm afraid alot of times it comes out as anger and when my life is feeling so out of control, I try to control everything and everyone else. My feelings are the next time hubby wants a blue straw instead of a yellow one, say, "Dear I love you, but get of your a** and get it yourself"! At least it would get him out of the recliner! Just a thought he's your hubby and you know him best.

    For those of us with slightly lower scores, it's not like we stubbed our toes or can't find our favorite pair of shoes! We are dealing with a horrible nasty disease. So some days I'm a 1 and I even have a day or two when I'm an 8. But I'm not going to beat myself up when I'm only a 1! Some days I deserve to be a 1! Oh YEAH another thing!!!! Hugs definitely help :wink: !

    I truthfully don't know what I would do. I might just say "Excuse me I don't know if you noticed but you just sneezed all over my donuts and the box. I would like a do over on those" or I might just say, "I changed my mind". Hopefully it would be the first so the next customer didn't get her cooties!

    Heavens I'm glad I moved back home to Kansas City! I lived in Phoenix for 5 years over 100 begining in May until October. I don't think we've hit 100 this year in KC. It gets into the 90's and a thunderstorm comes through and everything cools back off. I love KC weather! It's the best weather in the world!

    SCLC Recurrence?

    in SCLC GROUP

    Posted

    Sorry Jen,

    The only positive thing I can say is that it is great news that they are treating this as a "new" cancer rather then a reccurence. That is very good news! The fact that it is also so early is GREAT news! Cancer sucks and it is totally unfair that your dad and you have to go through this again. Prayers are on the way!

    Hi Michelle,

    Sorry for the late reply. I had to get a grip on myself. I wanted to shake your husband and slap his doctors! I can't tell you how to live your life, but I would talk to my husband and say, "Look, I can't do this by myself. We are a team and I need your help. You aren't the only one that is scared out of their mind. So please help me". Then fact the docs are so willing to call hospice I don't understand either. I know you are on Grace a lot, did the ONCs over there give you any insight? I'm sorry, all I can really do is send prayers your way. Wish I could get on a plane and smack some people around for you! Oh yeah! You are pretty darn good at that without any help from me!!! Hang in there!

    Dana
