I am so upset right now that i cant even think strait. in january my grandmother had a stroke and luckily survived but she is not the same person and has difficulty with short term memory. she was recently diagnosed with alsheimers. in february we were told that the foster son that we have had for two years would be leaving us and we stood no chance at adopting him. in march one of my cousins was sent to jail for stabbing his brother in law. now in april my grandfather has died. yesterday i got the phone call from my father to get to the hospital right away. when i got there i went into the emergency room and my family was there and i found out that my grandfather had died from a massive heart attack. when he was brought to the er they worked on him for over an hour and even intibated him but there was nothing they could do. when i got to the er i saw him laying there on the bed and i just cried and cried. i put my arms around him and kissed him good bye. his prayer service is on thursday and his funeral is on friday. he was not healthy for a long time and for a long time he had been suffering with heart troubles and high blood pressure. because of my grandmothers health and the fact that she was in a nursing home and because bolth of them live out of town my grandfather was staying with my uncle at the time. all of the stress of my grandmother having a stroke and having to stay in a nursing home just got to be too much for him. i have been on this emotional rolercoaster for over a year now with something traumatic happening every month and i cant wait for it to end. i have gotten so used to bad things happening to me and my family that i have now come to expect that everything will turn out bad and not to get my hopes up for anything now. i miss my grandfather so much and it is very difficult to work today but i know that i must because it beats sitting around with nothing to do. i cant believe this has happened i am so devistated and i dont know if i will be able to go through with my ivf next week. i have been taking the drugs for a week now and i know that if i put off ivf for the future that i cant guarantee what will happen in the future and what other kind of devastating thing is going to happen to me as i know it will because it has been for over a year now. please help me i could really use some kind words.

Bless your heart, I know exactly how you feel. Last year in Jan. My daddy was put in the hospital, while he was in there, my granny was put in the same hospital, my daddy got out, while my Granny was still in there my Grandfather fell and had a have surgery on his hip, so he was in the hospital too. My Uncle , who was here helping out almost died, my Aunt had to go to the emergency room, she had to have an IV, she was sick and almost dehydrated, in the mean time, my grandfather come home, only to get sick again, he is also a very bad diabetic, he was back in the hospital, they put him in the room next to my Granny, so it would be easier on my momma and daddy to take care of them.The first week of March 2007, we moved my Granny and Grandfather in the nursing home, I lost my Granny March 25.... when all this sickness was going on, I had to have surgery on my arm... On May 18th, my daddy was put back in the hospital, My daddy died on June 16th, worst day of my life. Me and my family were trying to focus on getting through Thanksgiving without my daddy, when my brother in law found out he had a rare cancer, they gave him 6 months,or go to the Univ. of Arkansas, so we done what we had to do to get him there. On January the 1st, I said a prayer that 2008 would be better than 2007. My heart goes out to you. If you need to talk , I am here. God Bless YOU!!! Lori
