Sadness for many reasons
I'm sad, so sad. Not only is it coming up for the 1 year anniversary of Brownies death October 3rd, I found out yesterday that my brother in law I have known since grade school only has about 3 months left to live, cancer. Then today I found out a close girl friend of mine has cancer and there is no treatment that will stop it, maybe slow it down some. She also said the Doctor told her 3/4 months. Such good people. Why does it seem bad things only happen to good people. I know it probably isn't true but it sure seems like it is. I can't even type right now I'm so upset and just sobbing for my friend, her husband and family and my sweet brother in law and his family. My sister (his wife) died 5 hears ago. I'll try again later. Hope all are doing better in their journey. (((Hugs))) Linda

Dearest Linda,
I\'m so sorry all these things are happenings. It seems like one thing after another......I find myself taking on too much of a burden for other peoples pain!!
Is there such a thing as being too caring and compassionate? I hope you are able to finish your journal soon...love and big hugs from Sandra
Linda,
I understand your apprehension on the first year of your beloved Brownies
Passing. For me, I just flawed with the day and let IT lead me. In retrospect it was a sad but also a healing day. Thinking of you, during this time....Sandra
Oh Linda, I am so sorry to hear of your further bad news. I read somewhere once that a man lived totally on his own in a forest surviving on natural water and fruit etc. having no contact with anyone. He did this as he had been hurt and decided that he would not be hurt again. Of course he did not hurt again but then he lived a very lonely life. We have a sociable life and love the people we come into contact with and therefore leave ourselves open to hurt and grief. One goes with the other. We pay the price of loving people. But we are still the lucky ones to have loved in the first place. I am thinking of you. ... Jo
I am so sorry for this day, as if you didn\'t have enough on your plate. Your are in my thoughts this day. Hugs Katrina
Oh Linda my heart goes out to you. Reach out to your loved ones and you will give each other strength to get through this. My thoughts are with you.

Linda,
Im so sorry for your pain. It seems so much in a short period of time. I cant think of words to say. Ill be praying for you and your loved ones.
I just want to thank you all for your support in these horrible days for me. mvaba is so right. If we didn\'t love then life would be so much more sad all the time. It\'s hard to lose those you love so dear but nice that you will always have their memory of love for you. However it is very, very hard. Thank you all so much and (((Hugs))) to all of you. Linda
