2. My sister was diagnosed with cervical cancer yesterday. She's only 40 years old for goodness sake. The doc is hoping for a good prognosis, but won't know much until after surgery on Saturday.

3. My 29 year old daughter is suffering a deep bout of depression right now, and I am trying to get her some help. She's being resistent, but I say when you cannot get out of bed for 3 days and all you can do is cry, you need help. So I am plugging away. She's better today, but she still needs some help.

4. I am having a really rough time at work right now, story too long to get into. Suffice to say, I am miserable...

SO!!! If after sending Kristy some good vibes, you have a few left over, I could really really use some.

Love you guys!! Thanks for listening, and if anyone has any good advice about ANY of the above, feel free to post. I need all the help I can get right now.

Hi Glad,
I am so sorry that you are going through so much and all at one time. We will be praying for you and all that you and your loved ones are going through. I do have some good news, my mother is 92 and she was diagnosed with the same two years ago, as your sis, they did the laser and was cured from it. My friend has BiPolar, and she is on meds that help her with this problem does your daughter have Bi Polar? It took several different Dr.'s to finally get her on the right med and doseage She is doing fine now as long as she takes the meds. I have good feelings about things there at work I think they are going to get better for you and it soon will be smooth sailing. Take care of yourself we don't want you getting sick and down. Wosie will be fine with all the TLC from her mommie. to you and lots of puppy kisses from Baby Blessing. Patti ~~Baby Blessing~

Sending hugs for you, your daughter, your sister, and Wosie!
I know how your daughter is feeling dealing with depression. After my engagement break-up I was a MESS for months...crying, not leaving the house, etc. I don't know what kind of depression she is dealing with (meaning, if she knows the "cause"), but if you want to talk to me or if your daughter is going through man depression and wants to talk to someone who has recently been there, you know my email address. Take care!

Love ya!

[lynnt34]

from us too! I know how tough it is with a daughter who is depressed!
My 26 year old daughter has finally left her hubby ( thank heavens...he was a dead beat & not a nice person) and she went into a depression, denied it ...was resistant but ..now, has seen her DR and is on the mend ! It took time.....alot of tears from her & my own..(not to mention some days it took all my patience as I felt like shaking her to bits). We love our kids so I'm sending you another ........and also more strength! If you ever need to chat about it I'm here and you could pm me anytime!

[rnnw62]

brings a better day to you. Sometimes life is just so darn
trying...You are a strong and very inspirational person Glad
hang tough kid it'll get better!

Glad...I'm just seeing this thread! Sending you and your sister the biggest hug this morning...
I'm thinking of you today...and update us on Wosie..k

[Jaspermom]

OK, y'all got me teary eyed again!!

Debbie, I was afraid that if I dumped all that on you yesterday, you wouldn't want to go to Pigeon Forge with me, lol!!

Thanks, everyone! My sis called me last night and her surgery is actually scheduled for Tuesday, so please keep her in your thoughts!!

My daughter's depression is based on the loss of her biological mother almost 5 years ago. In my estimation Jen is suffering from Complicated Grief. I called our local hospice yesterday, and they do grief counseling for free. However, Jen needs to be the one to call. And at this point she is so angry with me, I am sure she will not. She insists that her depression is none of my business, and if she wants to get that sad when she misses her mom, then I should stay out of it. I can't though. I love her so much, and I see what these continual bouts do to her husband and her family. If she doesn't watch out, she will lose them. Her husband is at his wits end. I am going to try to call him today and see if I can't get him to talk her into it. The hard part is, my husband (her father) wants me to butt out. I can't. I just can't. She needs help, she's hurting, and I love her. If she lost her family because of this, I would never forgive myself for watching her do it and not trying to help.

Wosie is a pretty sad little girl this morning. She still doesn't want to eat, and whimpers a little when I pick her up. I am going to take her to work with me and keep an eye on her. I can't believe they did not give her any pain killers. It was really sad watching her do her business this morning. She couldn't even squat to go poo! She pooed standing straight up!! I have never ever seen a pup do THAT before!

Thanks, everyone, for all your love, support, and advice. You are so wonderfully kind!! I love you all!!

And your daughter... that is tough, I have a friend who's mother and brother both committed suicide,, it is tough,,on her and everyone around her,, I can't imagine.. I hope she gets some professional help, sound like that is what she needs, I have tried to help my friend for 15+ years, it's rough.. Good luck, and maybe you should talk to her hubby, he's got to understand..

Glad, I am so sorry to read about things going rough for you.

Regarding your sister. Yesterday was six year appointment with the oncologist. After my final cat scan, and blood work come back normal I will officially be considered cured and released from his care.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 cerival cancer 6 years ago at 38. All the more reason EVERYONE should go for their annual pap test. ( I was already going every 6 months at the time).

If caught early cervical cancer has a high survival rate. If I can help your sister in anyway, even if she just wants to talk. PM me I'll give you my number. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who has been their done that.

Hugs to you.

WAY TO GO AND WHAT A HUGE RELIEF ! BIG hugs to you - what a load off your mind and that was so nice of you to share that big news.

[Jaspermom]

Susan, I PMed you, and you KNOW you rock, sweetie.

Everyone else, thank you so much for your good wishes, advice, and love. You have no idea what you all mean to me, and from the bottom of my heart I thank you so much for caring about my family.

And I can't stop giggling at Chanel's picture, so THANK YOU, V my friend!

[Oscar's Mom]

Not to worry, Glad...we ARE going to Pigeon Forge!!! Nothing you could have told me yesterday could have changed my mind about meeting you and Dave for our weekend. Never feel that you can't share your sorrows with me or anyone of YT for that matter! We are ALL here for you and you are always here for us! You are very blessed to have such a wonderful family and I am just so sure that everything will work out for all of them. I am sure the Dr.'s that are treating your sister are the best and will take the best care of her possible. Your daughter just really needs a wake up call and I am sorry that everybody is coming down on you about it. Depression is a very complicated disease. It takes so many different paths and affects the lives of everyone involved with that person. The first step is for her to realize that she is not just sad but that she is really sick and needs to seek help. I agree that talking to her hubby might be the best thing to do right now. Maybe he can get thru to her and not just give up on her. And as for you, dump your cares and concerns on me anytime you need to...that is what friends are for! We all love you girl! Keep your chin up and stay that happy person that we all know you are!!! Better days are coming your way...I just know it!!!

[teri88]

Glad,
I've had you on my mind so much. You are such a loving, giving person and I know you must be suffering, especially about your daughter. All you can do is let her know that you love her and you are there if she wants to talk. You can not force her to get help. I know that must be frustrating because you want to "fix" it for her, but unfortunately, that is not how depression works. You can't make her better without her help. Just like you can't take the cancer treatments to cure your sister, depression is an illness. Hopefully her husband will hang in. He should go for some counseling by himself to learn how to deal with her. As much as you love her, you can't make her better. She has to decide that she wants to do it. Only then will she be on the road to recovery. I'm sorry that you are going through this. It is harder, I think, to stand by when someone you love is sick. I think my family takes my illness much harder than I do. I know you feel helpless, but just continue to pray for her and let her know you love her. God bless, my friend.
