Hey guys;

I need to vent for a bit, so if you get bored by that kind of thing I suggest you turn away.

Last week my great gandmother died and then, while at her funeral, my grandfather had a gastric attack and then died. Today I find out that my mother has cancer...

It's a sick world sometimes. I also apologize for my absenses during the last little while- I've been taking some time, collecting myself. It seems that I work so much that I never take any time for just me.

Anyways, that's it. A short rant, I know.
 


If you didn't feel horrible right now, you wouldn't be human. Bad things happen in life... and it will take some time for things to go "back to normal". At the same time, things will never be "the same". But these the unfortunate and inherent aspects of life will ultimately build your character and shape your personality.

For the time being, grieving is all you'll likely focus on. That's fine. Actually, it's good. But once you're a little bit removed, what will you do? Will you feel sorry for yourself? Or, will you remember your grandmother and grandfather for everything good that they were, and understand how important your family and life in general really is? And how precious it is as well.

Hopefully you can learn to give these terrible events a positive spin. Right now you're "taking a break" to collect yourself... maybe the positive spin is that you start taking more "breaks" for your family, even when things are going incredibly well.

I feel for you man. You'll get through this. Life has a strange way of working itself out, but your outlook on life often determines which way it works. Keep your head up buddy.
 
damn man. im about as non religious as they come but theres definitely something to all this hardship your going through. pure concidence about your grandfolks? i think not.

theres something big you need to see here.

you will make it through this. allow yourself to grieve. allow your mind to recount everything a million times. but also be sure to get out and depend on your support groups. other family are grieving too right now. they will be there for you and so will others.

take care bro.
 
yea dude, take some time away from the computer and away from everyone else and go out by yourself somewhere and just think about the good times you've had with them. if you stuff everything away and don't grieve correctly, it will eventually come back unexpectantly later down the road. how is your mom doing? what kind of cancer does she have?
 
Sorry for your loss.

I had my own tragedy yesterday: my dog died. We've had her for almost 11 years, so she truly was part of the family.

Good thoughts to your mother, may she be well soon.

My little dog has been keeping my company for the past couple of days. She's a great little girl :)

I think that once I've finished my next batch of articles for clients here on WF that I will take a break... maybe a week or so. Spend some time with my brothers and family.

I'm not dwelling on it. I understand that it has to happen. Just the timing of it couldn't be more poorly timed.

Thanks for all of the kind words guys and gals :)
 
That's pretty shitty man... hang on in there, it will get easier to deal with... bear in mind that without the lows there can be no highs.

Take it easy mate.
 
Wow, I am sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you and your family.

If you need some extra time on those 25 articles send me a PM and I'll be cool with that.
 
Sorry to hear. Hang in there, things will eventually work out. Be as supportive as possible to your Mom, it will work wonders.

S.
 
I dont post much, but, I truely feel for you, my thoughts are with you and your family. My mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer a little less than a year ago and it has been a steep downhill for her and my family since, not all cancer is as bad as my moms and I hope your moms is different but I know your moms cancer is just one part of your pain.

my only advice is to truely feel your pain, go to the depths of it and expierence as much as you can, hold nothing back, maybe find someone you can go there with.
a really wise man once told me 2 things that I hope will help you
(like Scrabbler already said): "Give what you need"
and
"Only after a long cold winter can you truely expiernce how beautiful summer is"
