We can cope

It has been a very hard year but I now know we CAN cope and learn to go on.I lost MOm in dec of 2006 after a very short battle with cancer.Never sick a day in her life so it was a shock.Dad went in the hospital after I found him on the floor 7 weeks ago and came home yesterday..dying of a broken heart is what they say..just letting himself go.Then my father in law passed 2 weeks ago after a short battle with cancer.They say god does not give you more of a burden than you can handle but it makes me wonder.I will never forget but I go on for the family I have left.I give thanks to daily strength because that is what has kept me going.So to anyone who comes here this is the best place for you to be ..it really works wonders

Thank you for sharing your positive outlook. I would like to challenge one thing you said, because I hear it a lot and I've come to feel differently. I beleive sometimes God gives us more than we could handle so that we have to reach out to others. That's the beauty of this website and I've met some good people here. Best wishes to you and take care of yourself.

My wife & I started this website: http://www.icanpray.com
to help cope with a loss. It's more spiritual than religious. The PERPETUALS page may especially help. Feel free to use it as a link.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
