    Hi everyone,
    I am having a really tough time of it. Last year my around this time my father had a stroke and the doctors found he had brain tumours and they couldn’t do anything as he would die on the table. Well because of the stroke he lost feeling and use of one side of him. He spent a long time in hospital, and then after a few weeks at home he decided to move into a nursing home. Well September 13th last year after getting sick my dad gave up and passed away in his bed.
    I have never felt anything quite like that pain before. I was just walking around in a daze at work and also trying to find a new job. Well not long after that my boyfriend of two years left me because of a few issues. I also got a new job which i am greatful about but more hours would be nice but it’s a bit impossible.

    Which means I am struggling financially. My phone bill is over due at the moment due to me having to find the money from my work pay to be able to pay my new two weeks rent at the new place as I have to move.
    Life is extremely tough at the moment. I am hoping once I move it gets easier and calmer for me. I miss my dad so much it’s not funny.

    Hi Anne,

    My heart reaches out to you as I read this post. Condolence for your dad’s demise. I can understand that it’s pretty tough to overcome the loss of a family member.

    One thing I know and can think of that can help you overcome this situation is ‘Have a goal, work towards it. Put down on paper what steps would you require to achieve it. Be only very very positive. Think that ‘YOU CAN DO IT’.

    I understand that nothing can replace the loss you have had; but a goal can help you divert your mind. Also it can help you come out of the financial situation as well.

    I just want to say…’Be strong; because you can and you will do it’. You can overcome any kind of situation. And I’m sure one day you’ll look back and be proud of yourself.

    All the Best! My well wishes to you!

    Anne,
    I wish you ease and comfort.

    My daughter was born one week before my mother died of breast cancer. Soon thereafter I lost my job. I am still here.

    I know how it is to walk around in a daze because of losing a loved one. I know what is like to not quite being able to function with normal, day-to-day life activities.

    All I can offer is that your grief is OK and cannot be rushed. Do the best you can. It may help to find someone who you can get a hug when you need it, to hold you, to remind you that it’ll be OK sometime, maybe not today but sometime.

    Metta,
    Mark
