Feeling drained

in Colorectal Cancer #1

Hi all. Tomorrow is the service for my long time friend who passed away from cancer a little over a week ago. Today I said my final goodbye to my best friend. She is losing her battle with ALS and will be gone in a day if not hours. I won't see her on this earth again.

My own surgery is a week from Saturday. I am emotionally gutted. I know it is important to go into my surgery physically and emotionally strong but in the face of so much loss of people I love in the last couple of weeks I am having a hard time finding my fight and my strength. I know there is nothing any of you can do but thank you for letting me share my grief.

    OMG you have so much going on right now. How awful. I hope you'll get through all of it emotionally okay and then continue on. Hugs to you.

    Everybody's life and

    Everybody's life and experience is unique, as are their feelings and reactions to hard times. Having said all that, I know much of how you feel. April 30 will be one year after losing Cindy, and four months after losing my dad. Along with other issues, the emotional load I carry sometimes overwhelms, but oddly enough, I've been down so long, that I find hope and energy creeping into my psyche. I hope time moves quickly for you, and you can feel better about yourself and the friends you've lost, in the meanwhile, I wish you what comfort and peace you can find in such a trying time.........................................Dave
