Unhappy This is my worst day in sobriety!

This is the worst day that I have ever had in sobriety but I know I will get through it sober. I went to visit my grandparents yesterday and I found out that my grandpa has been in ICU for the past week. That is the first I had heard about that. Last Monday night, he had to have emergency surgery and after the surgery, he was non-responsive. We don't know what is going to happen.

I am torn apart inside. It just hurts.....really hurts.

Please pray for my grandpa.

Thank you all for the prayers and for the support! I really appreciate it. This is such a painful and difficult time but I know that God is with my grandpa and all of us. I'm holding up ok... really hurting but I'm ok. I find comfort in knowing that God is in the midst.

Thanks again for the support.

Love,

Cheryl

Prayers for you. This too shall pass. Be grateful you are not drinking/using--life would be much worse.

My grandpa doesn't look good at all. He still isn't responding. He is unable to feed himself or talk. OMG, this hurts!!!!!!!

The doctor hasn't said anything about why he hasn't came out of this yet.

All I do know is that he was ok last weekend which was the last time I saw him before the surgery. We sat down and had dinner at the table together and he looked at me like he was so proud of me. He smiled and winked at me and he told me that I looked better than he has seen me look in a long time. He said that I was glowing and that I looked so happy. I will always remember that he looked like he was proud of me. When I left last Sunday, I gave him the biggest hug. That was the last time I saw him before he ended up having to have surgery.

I am grateful for all of the support that I have received. This is so hard on me.

Love,

Cheryl

I'm going through a difficult time with my dad now, too, Cheryl. We're preparing for the end. I don't know how old your grandfather is or what kind of life he's had, but I do know that there's one thing both you and I can be grateful for: when we both look back on this time, regardless of the outcome, we can know that we were sober, present and aware of what's going on. We're not building a future regret that we gave in to what is easy and numbed ourselves.

I will keep your grandfather in my prayers. Please keep my daddy in yours.

Peace & Love,
Sugah
