My mother in law is dying...
My mother in law is dying. I am hurting so bad, I can hardly breathe. She and I are so close. She survived breast cancer 2 years ago. About 6 months ago, she started complaining that she was having a hard time breathing. She's been going to the dr regularly. None of us thought "cancer". I guess we just figur... 28 Jan 2008 23:52

Monthly remembrance calendar
I post to another group where a person is in charge of all the post-ers birthdays. That person then posts a list for that month at the beginning of each month. Then people in the group post their regards. I was wondering if we could adapt this to put our loved ones' birthdays and angel wings days. Unfortunate... 18 Jan 2008 10:23

Should A Couple Separate To Save Marriage?
Do you know when to give up trying to save your marriage? It's very rare that couples avoid divorce by trying to stay together. It's an odd statement to make I know but you probably have more chance of staying together if you stop trying.

Judy's ashes
Well, I'm having a hard time dealing with things this week. On Monday, my dear Judy's daughter e-mailed me and said that we would be burying Judy's ashes on Saturday. Judy donated her body for research, which is admirable. However, I read what they do sometimes to the body and it upsets me. But I would still encou... 18 Jan 2008 16:46

forgiveness
About five years ago my church offered a course in forgiveness during Lent. If I calculate correctly, this would have been sessions. My intentions were noble, but I think I flunked the course. One feels the way one feels. Acting on those feelings is another thing. I have honestly tried to dial down my resentments... 22 Jan 2008 07:55

When both parents are gone.
Most of y'all know that I lost my mom last January. Now that I've gone through losing a mom, I constantly think of when my dad will pass, what he'll die of, how old he'll be, will he suffer like mom, etc., etc. And then I feel really guilty for being so morbid in thoughts. My biggest underlying fear is after... 11 Jan 2008 18:52
