"Cheryl" wrote in message ... Thank you, you guys. You have made me cry. This isn't a happy birthday. 41 now and I can't help but feel that the best part of my life is over. It isn't the number. What else is left for me now. I will never have grandbabies and I'm still really ****ed about what life has handed me. I don't mean to post negatively but that is how I feel. I know I can say that here. {{{{Cheryl!!}}}In some small way you've been a force for good in the world in spite of all that has happened to you; if it weren't for you, this little black girlcat wouldn't have had a chance. Thinking of you, Christine |

Of course you can say it here. We may not understand (I do, in a way) but we'll support your right to feel the way you do. When I first found out that Rob has brain cancer, I had visions of dealing with a vegetable for years and years, and not knowing the man I love and married. When the Surgeon came out and told me that Rob only had 3-6 months to live, I died inside. I did what I could to comfort Mike and Mandy, but I was empty inside, as if I had nothing left. I would have settled for years and years with the vegetable I had been afraid of. Then we were told that the biopsy came back better than they'd expected and now the prognosis (educated gamble?) is 2 to 15 years. I still have nightmares where he divorces, abandons, turns into someone else, or in other ways leaves me. There are days I get so mad at him for having cancer that it's all I can do to look at him, even though I KNOW he didn't go up to the tooth fairy and say, forget the teeth, give me cancer instead. There are days when I hate myself so much for feeling anger, fear, hate, and grief that I want to just walk away from it all. And, as we discussed in our cancer survivor support group, the holidays are the worst time of the year. Where do you live? If you could get over here, you could spend Thanksgiving with us. We don't have a lot of room, but we can set up a bed in Maude and sack you out there. Of course the sense of humor tends to be at gutter level a lot of the time, but I'm sure that you can ignore the worst of the jokes. If you don't want to come over here, is there somewhere else you can visit for Thanksgiving? I just don't like the idea of you being by yourself at the holidays. Pam S. concerned |

I have been with you during this with Rob, I have read it all and I am scared and have faith all at the same time. I'm in Maryland and if I left for the holidays my parents would kill me. (well they are worried about me, they stop by at any time without warning just to see how I "really" am). They've caught me in bed still sleeping at 2pm on a Saturday or two or three. I do not want to worry them or anyone. I know they worry about me. I have the number of a therapist that I really should see. My uncle who is a deacon with the Catholic church gave me a book, a handbook for grief and he told me I should have already read it. I asked him what if I don't want to feel better yet. He said everyone he's given the book to read it quickly. I just can't feel better yet. I don';t want to. |
