Someone please tell me some good news!

[KitchenWitch]

:cry:

I have received two pieces of bad news from my family today.

My cousin died last night of a massive coronary. He was almost 50. He was the brother of my cousin who died in 1990 of AIDS. Goddess love my aunt, she is a strong woman. She is also very heartbroken.

We also found out today that my uncle has the early stages of lung cancer. He is in his late 60s but has been a heavy smoker since is early teens.

Make it stop.

Sorry about that, KitchenWitch. Wish I could change it.

[KitchenWitch]

14. My aunt is such a strong woman

I did not think she needed her strength tested any more.

[graywarrior]

17. I hear you. I hate that saying "God doesn't give us more than we can handle."

It's nice, but it sure doesn't help when you get hit with multiple tragedies. Especially around this time of year.

[KitchenWitch]

18. Count me as another who hates that saying.

:grr:

fuck that! Sometimes life just sucks.

[graywarrior]

19. Yeah, and I like to tell god to take a flying fuck when things like that happen.

[KitchenWitch]

[graywarrior]

[KitchenWitch]

28. LOL!

:toast:

[graywarrior]

30. Do you feel that black spot forming on your soul?

That's a mortal sin, happily joining all those original sins you had before you were even born. Forget about the venial sins. I have no idea what they consist of, but you have them...sinner.

[KitchenWitch]

31. Catholic much?

I have old Catholic residue myself.

[graywarrior]

34. 8 years of black hearted nuns.

Guilt is my personae.

[KitchenWitch]

Me - I am so ready for the holidays to be over.

[KitchenWitch]

13. That is good news!

:woohoo:

[Az]

15. The good news is that the pain does stop

And you get to keep the good memories.

Go tell the people you care about how much you love them. It will do you good.

[KitchenWitch]

16. Yes, it does stop!

Thanks!

[Neoma]

23. I haven't given up on politics.

26. This is good!

[Wapsie B]

25. My deepest sympathies KW.

That's too much tragedy for one person to have to go through. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

27. Thanks!

This is just so hard!

:hard:

[Wapsie B]

29. I can't imagine having to deal with all that at once.

Damn.

[KitchenWitch]

45. One just does

I have been hugging the kids a lot since I heard all this news.

[Wapsie B]

46. That sounds like the best way.

Cherish what you do have.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear KitchenWitch.........

How horrifying, sweetie.........

I can hardly imagine what you're going through, right now........

Perhaps this little poem might help......I know it does me......

Life is eternal;

And love is immortal;

And death is only a horizon;

And a horizon is nothing

Save the limit of our sight...


Be well, sweetie.......Remember that you are greatly loved! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

42. Thank you

I appreciated the phone call. At this point I did not want to call anyone, but if anyone wanted to call me that is cool.

Reaching out is not my strong point.

[Maddy McCall]

33. I got a better job!

Commute will be longer, but I work fewer days a week and the pay's better. :D

I am tremendously sorry about your loss, Kitchie. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

36. Congratulations!

:hug:

I know that life here is temporary, but emotionally it is difficult to let go.

[WCGreen]

37. Bad news this time for year is magnified....

Peace, KW... Peace....

[KitchenWitch]

It is, I mean, geez, it really should not be, but most people put so much emphasis on holidays that things like this become huge.

I hope things turn out for the best with regards to your uncle.

It is not likely though, since he "lives off the grid" so to speak.
