The Worst Week
Posted October 28th, 2009 at 1:59AM
My name is Christine , i just joined this group today because i needed someone to talk to.
These past few days have been hell.
I found out that My Father is going to divorce my mother after 25 years of marriage and he has found somebody new.. my mother dosent know yet..
My only grandmother has been admitted into the hospital she had ovarian cancer and is bleeding really badly.
My brother and his family have been evicted from there home and now they live 2 hours away in the middle of nowhere with no vehicle in a broken down trailer with no bathroom. And now all three of them, My brother, My 5 year old Nephew and my 3 year old Niece have confirmed Swine Flu.
And lastly my brother -in-law whom i have know for ten years ( thats half my life) and is like a brother to me, has joined the army, and he gets shipped out to training next week.
I have received all of this information in the past 3 days and i am not doing well at all im very sad very stressed very worried and angry
And i dont know what to do.

First off "pray"-I know the divorce is hard and maybe even harder to understand,but all u can do is not pick sides even if ur dad is wrong ,be by your moms side through it all because if she dosent know thats going to hurt.All you can do is put your grandma,your brother,and your brother in law in Gods hands and pray for them daily because those are situations that you have no control over and God will protect them amd provide for them,but you cant sit and stress yourself over things thats out of your hands although you wish there was something that you could do to help,believe it or not prayer will move any situation if you believe..God Bless and I wish you and your family the best...

Christine, there are a lot of cliches, "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" and the like; I won't bore you with those. I can only share from my own experiences, I too was given more to deal with then I could bare. I sucked it up and put one foot in front of the other, I dealt with things one at a time, doing just as much as I could, no more, no less. It was rare for me to cry even though I wanted to cry all the time. I had no one to turn to, depend on, or bounce things off of. I am still in the center of this chaos and I continue to follow my own advice. I pray every day, hour, and some time every minute, that I will be given the power to do what is best and do it with dignity; not to loose sight of what is important, not to dwell on things I can do nothing about, and to not loose myself. Others may need my strength and I want to be ready. My thoughts are with you. Mollydd
