    • Prayer

      From Greg G February 20, 2008

      Sharon, I had a transplant a yeaar ago come the 25th of Feb.Just knowing that someone has survived and been prosperous is giving me hope. I count my blessings everyday .I thank God for my family and friends and for the strengh he gave me to carry on.I had been called up for the transplant 6 times before they actually did the transplant. That part was the hardest.The depression was never so bad as it was then. Time3 after time our hopes had been dashed.Just knowing that God had promised me he would never give me more than I could handle was just the strength I needed to carry on. Perhaps you're looking in all the wrong places for the strength you need.People places and things have never been a solution for me. It's the inner peace that God will freely give to you if only you would ask. I'll say a prayer for you. I would also like to be your friend if you'lll let me.

      Types: Heart

      I had a heart transplant 10 years ago. My personality changed in negative ways. Finally, my husband kicked both my daughter and me out of our common home (My ex-husband has drug and alcohol issues that were the roots of many of our fights) and I moved back with my parents. I am extremely depressed. I have terrible trouble falling and staying asleep and trouble waking up. I cannot concentrate during the day and have no desire to do anything extra. I am severely depressed.
