The Mad Chatters thread Part 9

He's had that. I will say this certainly cured our small issues...............

You always tell me I am so positive and you wish you could think like me...well, honey, it was TRIAL by fire...before I got sick I was not always looking for the good...but after I got sick I realized I couldn't spend my days "not" seeing the good...when I go (hopefully not for a long time) the only thing I can take with me will be my good memories and those will also be the most important things I can leave behind for those I love...so I learned a very hard lesson. I learned how precious time is. I know nobody ever asks for that kind of lesson...but it was a gift beyond all measure in the end. I know stuff like this doesn't help now...but keep it tucked away into a little corner of your mind and maybe one day it will help a bit.

I know...we all got caught up in the LOVE!

I just really hate when my friends hurt. All I want to do is scoop it up and make it all go away.

You know what Paige. I know how you feel. As I have posted before, my Brother was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when he was 1 yr old. he was given a 20% cahnge to live about 6 mos. After max chemo, max radiation, a bone marrow transplant.......

He's getting ready to celebrate his 21st birthday. He has some residual effects..but is generally in great shape.

So there is always hope. We did alot of he why us..he's only a baby...I rebelled alot..my favorite uncle (who was my bro's god father) died in a car accient inthe midst of it all at age 22...

But it worked out. It can for you too.

I went throughit all again last sumer when my 22 yr old brother died in a car accident as well.......

It is totally natural to feel the way you are feeling...

I know Tiffer, I remember. Several chatters and PMSers have gone through so much. I just am not feeling at all positive tonight...........at all.

Hi girls. I went in to watch TV after I signed off earlier. I fell asleep and just now woke up! That was like 5o-6:00, something like that. Guess I was tired!

I totally agree. I will say that the hardest day I ever had was walking into an ICU and seeing my DH on life support. I realized how very fragile life was, and that we had to make the most of it. We try to keep even the worst days around here positive or at least find something positive about the day. I try to make the very best out of every day that I am given and make sure that I create a good memory for my girls everyday.

Tottaly normal to feel as you do...there is a broad spectrum of emotions that you may still experience...Sad, pissed,....

[LBelle]

I was that way Jay. When he was diagnosed, we thought positive and prayed and decided to have more time together..........we made some changes..........he got a new job so we could be together more. We took more family vacations.................

I'm sorry I'm not being that way now. I"m just not. It's just come to the point where the future isn't very pretty, and I don't want to go down that path, and I'm just being pulled down it. And I don't like it.

 

[paigevz]

Hiya Bon. I'm being a poo head. They're trying to talk me round. It ain't working.

 

[Toot Sweet]

How's about I smack you around a little, then, Paige?

 

[paigevz]

How's about I smack you around a little, then, Paige?

No, just agree with me that this totally sucks.

 

[Toot Sweet]

Yes, it does. It totally sucks!

Paige the anger and frustration you are feeling is normal, and I know you don't need me to tell you that. I also know you don't want us to tell you to be positive, because all that will do is make you madder at the whole situation. It is normal for you to ask, "Why Me?" and all I can say is that you may never get an answer for that, just do the best you can to keep your kids aware of what is going on, without scaring them. I do believe honesty is the best policy, but on their level. You might be surprised your kids will help you find the positive even when you can't find it.

 

[paigevz]

Yes, it does. It totally sucks!

Yeah.
