Feeling overwhelmed

Feeling a bit overwhelmed these days.  My 52 year old mentally ill brother who I am the legal guardian of is being admitted to the hospital tomorrow(pych ward) because he is struggling with his meds and they need to try and find a different combination.  My parents are 85 and 84 and my Mom is going down hill fast with dementia and my Dad can no longer take care of her but won't let us put her in assisted living.  My brother in law was diagnosed yesterday with bladder cancer and I just got a call from my sister that my Uncle who is 64 has throat cancer(he quit smoking 25 years ago).

I will not smoke over any of this because I know smoking wouldn't help a darn thing. 

Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you my Ex Family for letting me vent!

Oh, Louise, you surely do have a full plate. I will pray for YOU, my faithful friend, AND your family on an hourly basis. We know that God hears our prayers and gives us intuition to guide us. I love you, Louise, and have faith that you will get to the other side of this smoke free.

I thought that I would let you know that the blogs are down for a lot of people right now, and I hope that hundreds of people's prayers will be heard. Never give up.

I am so sorry you are having to go through all of these trials.  There is a saying that that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger.  I remember one point in my life when I told God I was strong ENOUGH --- but I was mistaken.

Hang in there - and blog "HELP" anytime you need it!

Hugs to you and yours,

Nancy

Louise, I am so sorry to hear of all that is going on around you right now.     Please take a moment (or 2) for yourself and breathe!      God is breathing on you and will continue to hold you and yours in His hand.

Prayers for all at this time.

You and your family are in my prayers, all the decisions you have to make, that in itself is so hard. Glad you are not using this as a excuse to smoke, you are the person to look to as an example of stress and not using it to smoke, what a great example you are for us all
