Thus far, it has to be my divorce.
Why? Guilt, fear, loneliness, uncertainty - terrible emotions to go through.
But, during that time I also met a wonderful man that today has turned my life around.
My mother's throat cancer, the chemo and radiation treatment she went through and her ultimate death from cancer. It was very hard to be 1800 miles away from her during that time and only get to see her on holidays. I miss her still, but Pat was my rock during that time and still is.
I haven't had that experience yet, I'll let you all know when it happens.
As of today, the last 7 months since John died.
My father's death. It was completely unexpected, and I was thousands of miles away - fishing in a remote part of Canada. It took a satellite phone call to let us know (I was with one of my brothers).
I remember sitting on the flight back here watching the people around me and wondering how they could be acting so normal when the world had flipped upside down and nothing would ever be the same again.
First of all ((((((((((hugs))))))) to all of your recounting your most difficult time.
Mine was the moment after a phone call telling me my closest and dearest soul sister friend had passed, only to have her house catch fire 2 days later and having to be the "strong" one for her son and boyfriend. When all I really wanted to do was climb under the covers and cry for days. I will miss her eternally
RIGHT NOW......STARTED ABOUT A YEAR
AGO AND LOOKS NOW LIKE IT WILL LAST
TILL THE LAST DAY. IF IT DON'T HURT
IT DON'T WORK.
ALL THE CRA- you always HEARD ABOUT
THE GOLDEN YEARS WAS GOV. PROPAGANDA. HANG IN THERE YOU CAN
HAVE THE FUN SOMEDAY.
My very Special and Dearest Aunt and Best Friend/Soul Sister both passed less then 2 years apart.
There is no way to express my deep feelings of loss and how much I miss them.....
It would have to be Summer 1993 - Spring 1997 ....
Deciding to leave Robbie's Dad ... the sudden death of my father ... the death of my brother from cancer ... the diagnosis of my mother with cancer ... my grandmother kicking my mother and my brother's widow and children out of their homes on the family farm ... the crumbling of my 2nd marriage followed closely by filing bankruptcy ...
Then things began to get better again ... and now they just keep improving ....
It started when my Mom was diagnosed with cancer and then she passed away, in my arms 6 months later. 2 weeks after that, I was over joyed to find out I was pregnant with my son then devasted a week later when told I had to have surgery for an Ovarian cyst and he may not make it. He did however, but we worried for 8 months due to the meds I had to be on. Then Steve's father died a few years after that and then my Dad died and then Steve's Mom died. Missing my loved ones was bad enough but they were suffering and as cliche as it may sound, it was a blessing for their bodies to be at rest finally. It was the behavior of family members that made it sordid and ugly and that made what was an already diffult time, more difficult.
The only other time I can remember be so frightened, is when my son was almost 3 and got a near deadly case of Peri-Orbital Cellulitis and was about 24 hours away from death and I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter. But again, he survived, we survived and all was well!
Having a nervous breakdown at 16 years old and learning how to survive without support.
Having 2 very sick daughters as infants, with one of them hospitalised for almost a year.
Losing my father to suicide when I was only 27
Having 2 very sick daughters as teens, and struggling to help them find balance.
Having my daughter diagnosed with MS as a very young Mother and watching her struggle to find her own balance.
Heck......my life sounds like a soap opera!!!
But just for the record.....I've had as many highs as I've had lows.
