was not able to see counselor today, will send her a letter. am hanging on with the grace of a God I do not understand and the love of my dogs, which I do understand. my kid sister just lost her mom in law to cancer. there is no end to the suffering in this world. i don't know how to deal with it all.

I thought you had an appointment? Damn.

Ring them, write them a letter- do whatever you need to, ok?

And I knew what a great person you are right away , cause you are a dog lover!! Hang in there. Feel free to PM me.

Least...I just want to add to all the others here in support of you. You have donated your soul to this board. Now it's time for YOU to receive that same grace. Can you feel how much you are loved? Because you ARE lovable, kind, generous, inspirational, supportive and wise. If only you would believe that. Pretend that the love that you receive here is a seed. Plant it in your soul. We will tend to its growth together for as long as it takes.

Least, you can get through this. We all know that when times are tuff, the easiest thing for us to do is grab the next bottle we see but it solves NOTHING! It doesn't make the problems go away and it wont give us any better answers to solving them either.

We all love ya and are with you through this.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.


Least, I accept that I will never fully understand the grace of God. What I do know is that there is always someone there to help us, to take care of us. Just look at this thread - your friends.

I've been away this past week, least, so I'm late in catching up here. I'm so sorry you've been struggling.

Please be gentle with yourself, dear lady. We're only human and all of us hurt and we trip up one way or another. That's how we learn.

So glad to see you back and being honest and reaching out for support. You have a lot more strength than you give yourself credit for. Time to regroup and move forward.

Big hug to you,

:ghug3

Donna
