Overwhelmed

I really feel as though I have had enough. I lost my mother 12 months ago to cirrosis of the liver. It has not been an easy year. In November we lost a friend to heroine overdose he was 44 years old. He had had 10 years in clean and relapsed. Last month my MIL passed away suddenly, she had been ill for the past while but I truly thought she would be here for a long time. She was a wonderful, caring women who we will all miss dearly. Two weeks ago my grandmother had a massive stroke, she is the one rock in my life. She is a strong compassionate person who I had a closer realtionship with then my own mother. I have a 21 AS who I am starting to detach from. I really have had enough. These past two years have been horrendous. We have are own business and its barely keeping afloat. If we loose this business we will loose our home everything. I go in to work daily, and its becoming more difficult. I keep thinking how much longer will we stay afloat. This was a thriving business at one time but to to the economy etc. it has taken a turn. I just feel like I am loosing everything, and everyone around me. I have never felt more frazzled in my life. I just keep thinking what next. I know there are so many others with problems much worse. I just really needed to vent today.

Katie So sorry that you are going through all of this

It can be overwhelming when everything hits us all at once-Especially when we suffer loss of a loved one-I wish you many prayers and blessings-

Keep the memories close to your heart and grieve-There are better days ahead keep the faith-

I'm so sorry you have faced and are facing so much loss at once. There are times where life does seem overwhelming and the best thing I can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and know that the "good" days will carry me thru the sad ones. Hoping that you may find some peace and serenity amidst the storm and sending loving prayers your way

Oh I'm sorry I can understand, I lost several family and friends last year and it's so hard to come to terms with, one step at a time until you begin to heal over. You are in my heart and thoughts.
