I give up-my dad passed away in August. I miss him so much and missed out on years of time with him because of a grudge. I didn't even get to say good-bye. I have also been struggling with Lyme's Disease for a year and a half and I'm getting worse. I am in physical pain almost all the time and mental pain all the time. I don't think I can live like this any longer. I used to be happy, but I really don't see that I can ever be happy again:(

I'm so sorry that you are feeling so low right now.  I don't know what to say except I know for a fact that Jesus loves you, just the way you are, just the way you feel, and if you will allow Him, He will come beside you and help you through this.  The devil comes only to steal, kill and destroy but we can overcome his schemes.  Just tell him to get back and behind you because the blood of Christ has over come him!  He shivers and runs at the name of Jesus. I don't know  if you watch Joyce Meyer on tv or have any of her books.  She has really helped me get through some very hard times.  I have lost 3 of my 4 brothers and both parents, plus many other relatives.  The one brother I do have left is a drug addict and also suffers some mental problems due to all the abuse we all suffered growing up.  PLEASE don't give up.  Your emotions don't have to run your life.  You are not how you feel.  You can get through this.  Please hold on.  Ask the Lord to help you and He will.  Please keep in touch with us on this forum.  We all care.

I know that there is hope for you, please do not give up. If you need to talk I am here and would love to listen and support you. Jayne

My heartfelt condolesences to you. I feel your pain Lynette. My father passed away in November of 2011, and due to not talking to him for some time, I just found out on Friday. None of his family even bothered to contact me and let me know. It was like a blow to my heart. I did not get to say I was sorry, or I loved him, or goodbye. And the guilt and regret really hurts. Theres so many things I wanted to say, and I thought I would be able to. I didnt want it to end like that, with him thinking I hated him or whatever he may have thought, because I did not, I just got too wrapped up in my own life. The pain will subside...you will always think about him, and it will be rough, the guilt and pain will be too much at times, but just think about the good times, and smile. Or at least try to. I know coming from someone you do not know the whole 'it will get easier' thing sounds like a load of bull, but it has to...right? I'm hoping.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
