messed up

I'm currently on temp disability for edema in my legs. I was laid off my job at a real estate finance company Oct. 1, they have been sinking for a long time and finally gave me the boot because things are slow. I feel totally abandoned and I don't have my mom to help me through this. I seem to drive everyone away telling my tale of woe.

No Donna, you havent driven us away. It is so hard when you have lost a loved one and then you lose your source of income! I will keep you in my prayers, that your legs will heal and you will be able to find a decent job. Working is a distraction and keeps your from thinking of your lonliness and sadness all the time so I hope you will find another job real soon!

I'm sorry to hear that you were laid off from your job. My Mom was the one person that I felt like I could tell anything to and she would understand. I hope that things will get better for you soon. Take care of yourself.

Donna ...You are not alone..as I sit in here in my robe..after a night of throwing up and heart palpitations.....grief is so silent and it just covers us ...
I have RA as well as asthma and chronic back pain..I work 4 days a week (based on Mr doctors directive) and when I get sick it overwhelms me..I feel so alone..I lived with my mom ( best friend ) for 10 years and I lost here feb2 08 ..some days are good aome are not ..I know right this minute you feel alone ytou aren't I am here ...physical illnesses alone with grief can be overwhelming..I know this is just a saying but I am finding that we are only given what we can handle..maybe this time you can do something nice for yourself..
a bubble bath a day sitting outside...

for those who don't understand there are so very many who do..

You arent alone. I am lucky I am able to work but frustrated at not being to find a permanent well paying job. I know there are days I will tell total strangers that my mom died, and I don't care what they think. You just have to get it out..we all get it here. Love to you.

You wont drive us away.
Keep on sharing with us here. We all get thrown these curve balls, and yes it was much easier when our mums were here to help us, but things do work out and usually for the best.
Try and stay positive and talk to your mum....
Your health is the most important thing right now

Oh sweetie you can tell any of us anything anytime. We all have been there done that. We want off of our MD sister's to feel love and that they are not alone. I am here if you want to ever talk. Glad to.

Love, Donna
