A difficult week.

This has been a difficult week for my wife and me, bad news has been coming thick and fast. First my wife's 46 year old brother died. He hadn't been well for some time, but still his death was unexpected. Two days later my wife's 5 year old granddaughter fell down the basement steps and had to be taken to hospital. I'm happy to report that she is expected to make a full recovery. This morning, I got the news that my cousin's 27 year old grandson had drowned in a boating accident, and about two hours ago I received news that a nephew is in hospital with a heart attack. While all this was happening, my 85 year old sister was in hospital having bladder surgery. I'm happy to report that my sister has been released from hospital and is doing well. Maybe no one will want to respond to this for fear of catching my bad luck, but I'm hoping everyone doesn't feel that way, and I'll get some replies. Blessings.

My condolences to both you and your wife. I can't imagine the emotional trauma you both are going through. How hard it must be to lose people you love so close together in time. My most sincerent prayers will be with you both, including the rest of your family.

Hi Pose123! I am sorry to hear that you are going through all these. I hope that things will get better for you. It must really be hard for you to get all through these. I may be going through some tough times at the moment but not as bad as what happened to you. I just whispered a short prayer for you my friend. Take care and good luck!

Just hang on there, my friend..
For all those unsuspected occurrences happening at you right now, I'm sure that good things will come back for you in return. Consider them as just TESTS in life, these things happen to almost everyone of us as well.
I don't see this post of your's negatively nor affect me in a negative way, in fact I feel the loss you are feeling right now. blessings to your wife, your wife's granddaughter, your nephew and as well as your sister..

When I read your comments on my catch-up conversation I wanted to drop by your site and read more about what has been happening with you. Goodness Pose you are the master of understatement. When you said something about your circumstances I thought maybe you or your wife had the flu...or something.
Then when I hear all the upheavals you have been going through my heart goes out to you and yours. Sometimes it is hard to know why so many distressing things happen around the same time...only that they do. Thankfully your granddaughter is OK and your sister is recovering satisfactorily.
Hopefully, the unrelenting challenges have run their course and you and your family will be able to recoup your energies and have some time to heal and restore a sense of balance.
You have become a valued friend to me Pose and I am grateful for your interest in my discussions. I posted a photo of some owls on my response and I sincerely hope the bird you love brings some healing...as many believe they do. My thoughts, prayers and energetic support are winging your way. I have included one here as well.
I will check back for updates...and please take care of yourself. No one can run on empty for too long. So even though things are hectic...creating some re-charge time will be important for you and your wife.
Wishing you light filled blessings,
Raia

That sounds about like it has been going on here on my end as well. Sorry that you have had such a difficult week. It is very stressful to be going through one thing after another like that though. I hope that you have a much better week coming up though.

My goodness you are going through so much I'm really sorry for that. They say that God doesn't give us more then we can bear but I think to myself at times that he gives us our share plus some from others, it seems when something bad happens a series of bad follow I haven't seen something good happen followed by a series of good. I will be praying for you and your family and hoping this get better for you, I know that doesn't help much with your losses, but just know I a stranger is thinking about and praying for you .

Hi!
I don't think anyone here would catch your bad luck because it isn't bad luck. This is life, isn't it? We never know what would happened to us on the next second.
The main idea I get from your texts is the love and care for people who are aroud you. They are surly enjoying the happiness of being loved.
God bless you all!
