In view of all the awful things that have happened this year, the unthinkable seems to be manifesting before my very eyes.
It started with my job loss. The unthinkable is becoming more and more a reality as each day without work goes by. I will lose my home.
In my fiancee's family, there has been a rash of deadly health issues.
His uncle was diagnosed with both a brain and kidney tumor a month ago.
His cousin had blood clots and then had a serious heart condition uncovered while in the hospital a month ago.
His sister-in-law had emergency surgery last week for ovarian cancer. Now she's back in the hospital with a heart problem.
We are all just holding our breath and waiting to see what happens next... we are waiting to exhale.
His daughter's husband dumped her and the baby for the office bimbo and she is still suffering the depression and heartache that is tearing at all of us.
In a way, I'm glad that this year is almost over. I don't think we can handle any more bad news!!
I had a bad year in 1997, lost a mother in law, father in law and a grandson in a 5 month period, I was never so glad to see that year end. I hope that the new year will bring you peace and joy and a new beginning and a new job
My youngest son was in a car accident last February. He wasn't hurt badly, but I thought the unthinkable. No parent can prepare for what I was thinking.
Marilou, I too am sorry but glad your son is ok. We just never know and I think that is one of the biggest fears for us parents, that we will lose a child and how would we survive such a thing
Yes, I did - I will never forget it. I spoke those unforgettable words, "I hate you" to my father. The look in his eyes were undeniable; shock! I was totally ashamed. I could not believe I had uttered those words to the man I adored, my dad. Why did I dare to do such a thing? How did I dare, where did this rebellion come from? It shocked even me. I did not mean even a word of it. but once they escape your mouth there is no taking them back. My dad died a few years after that, I told him a thousand times I was sorry but it never healed the wound on my heart. I learned a valuable lesson that day, mind your mouth, you cannot take back your words. I know my daddy forgave me he told me over and over he did. The problem is I cannot, I was raised better than that and I loved him!
Mind your mouth OK things you say will come back to haunt you!
Lizzy...you need to forgive yourself. Your father did, because he was your father and he loved you... can you do any less? Allow your father's forgiveness to mean something and forgive yourself. He would love you for that. :) Hugs.
I am so glad you shared, it is so hard to forgive ourselves when we should keep our mouth shut, but don't and think we probably have all done that a few times in our life.I hope eventually you can forgive yourself and your heart will heal

pondering fleetingly over the "unthinkable" makes me even more grateful that I have not had to deal with it. Yet, somehow I feel a little more prepared in case it visits me.
