Due to unforseen(insert "fallen brick wall") events, I will not be on for a while.  I'm not sick, that I know of, this is worse...family problems.  I feel myself slipping into that dark hole again and must find a way out...quickly.  I will try to be back and will miss you all.  Take care of each other for me.  I am so proud of the newer ones jumping in and helping the others!  Just keep doing what you are doing...love you all, Debra(Jo)

    Debra , My love will be with you wherever you are

    So very sorry to hear this, I hope you will find a way to get around that hole without stepping in ,I beg you Debra don't go in ,it's hard to see light or glimmers of hope from there.

    If you must, take some time off but please don't befriend depression or any darkness. No situation is worth the pain of that crud.It traps and sucks the life out of you. Don't allow anyone or anything to rob you the enjoyment  of the life you have fought to keep.

    Moli,--My stomach is churning with sadness, we need you ,I need you, Take care of you, Come back soon ,PLEASE.

    Debrajo, thanks for letting

    Debrajo, thanks for letting us know. Please don't stay away too long.

    I hope you find some peace in your life. You deserve it! Sometimes we hang on to the old just because we are afraid of the new unknown. Well, you have been through enough in your life for 3 lifetimes and have come out stronger than most. Please know that having a "new" environment may just be what you need to learn how to wake up each day happy. You have wonderful, supportive kids. Leverage them to get you through this and find yourself much stronger on the other side.

    Love and Hugs,

    Cindi

    Thank you for telling us why

    Thank you for telling us why you won't be here.  I, for one, always imagine the worst.  On the other hand, family problems can be the worst!  Hold on tight and if you need to vent, we're still here for that too.  I really do believe that stress feeds cancer so don't fall into that trap.

    Love,

    Good advice

    good advice here. Do what you need to for your family but mindful to avoid situations that trap you into believing you are the source of the problem or convince you in error that you can solve all problems! Come back when you can. Cancer our major focus, but not our only concern. We help with everything!

    BabyCoach said it well

    please read and reread her post till it's  embedded in your brain.  We women definitely tend to take on more than our share of responsibility for situations.  

    If not us, I hope you have at least one person, hopefully nearby, who can listen to you vent and give you caring support.  You know I'll be thinking about you and hoping for the best.

    Debra Jo you are a good

    Debra Jo you are a good person, a great friend to all of us. Life has thrown you more than your fair share of curve balls. You have been so caring to all of us and I am so sorry that you are in such distress. I hope you give yourself a break and look out for number one! I know that things are looking dark right now but there is always, always a door that you can open to a better happier life. Please reach out to us if you need support. With love and hugs, Sandy
