Every day I ask why, with all the money going to cancer research they cannot come up with a cure.  How many more friends and loved ones need to be lost before a cure is found?  So sad!

We lost Nora Efron this week, another cancer death.  I just can't believe that there is no way to manage this disease if not outright cure it.  Cancer took my mom, she was not ready to go.  I sometimes still hope that I die in my sleep so I can be with her again.

Hi Sue,  So sorry to hear that you are feeling so down and that your boss is being such a puts.  I know it feels like you are all alone but we are here for you .. although a little late (sorry for that).  If you just need a sounding board I'd be glad to listen just let me know when you are online and we can chat.  Hugs to you.

Hi,

I am in a big depression. My boss has been so rude and condescending to me for about 2 weeks. I think she is bipolar. I feel so damn alone in the world. Trying to climb out of this deep hole I am in. Sue

AMEN DEBBY

Debbie, Thankfully my kids have not been like that and were around before my husband got sick, when he was in hospital and are still checking on me every week or so.  But I do know what you mean, when my dad passed it seemed like my siblings all went nuts wanting this that and the other.  Personally, all I wanted was my dad alive .. material things can't make up for his loss, and I cherish the memories I have of him even now many years later.  Hugs to you.

Why is it that people "grown kids" that never called or came around when their dad was sick are the ones that cause the most problems!! I'm so tired of them fussing because they didn't get to see him after he past away when they NEVER came to see him before he past. The day he past away they were telling me what he said they could have and what they wanted. Give me a break!! He tried to be in their lives but they only wanted him there if they needed or wanted something. I miss him so much and love him more than they will ever know.

sorry anne .. i was looking for the silver lining ... guess there isn't one. :(  Still sending hugs your way .. take care and take time for yourself no matter what.

Mary, no my sibling are not coming to see me.  I am the youngest of 11 children, youngest by far.  I am in my 50s.  My sister who lives near me is 75 and will be having major surgery for blocked arteries in her neck, my brother who is battling alziemers is 72 and lives next to my sister so she has been caring for him.  It is because of these two failing health that our other siblings are coming for a visit. Three of them will be staying with me but we will be spending all our time at my sisters house because she and my brother dont like to leave their homes.  So no, they are not coming for me, they are just coming and I know Im being selfish for wishing for time with my kids instead of hosting a group of people who will expect me to cook for everyone for a week.  I told them today that I wanted to spend the 1st at my grandsons soccer tournie and a sister said that was ok she would help me make salads and desserts the night before.  Really?  She will help me?  How about she offer to just flippin do it while Im out of town at the games?  Uggggg, anger rears it ugly head.

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
