How do you deal with things when many bad things happen to people you care about in a very short time? Let me explain the things that has happened to me so far this year. First in mid janurary i found out a good friend of mine has terminal cancer. Not long after that i got in an argument with my best friend. After that a good friend of mine and her husband split up. Soon after that another friend told me she was having heart trouble. Luckily it just turned out to be a heart murmur and not serious. Then another friend of mine struggled with her bipolar caused by new medication she was on. Soon after that a friend had to rush to the ER cause of a very bad asthma attack. Soon after that one of my closest friends lost 3 of her cousins to a horrible house fire. That very same day a friend of mine's mom passed away. Not long after that a friend found out her little sisters cancer she had as a baby has returned. And just recently another friend lost her cousin to cancer and my best friends aunt passed away. All of this has happened since mid janurary of this year. It seems like so many people are having terrible things happen to them this year. If i was a religious man i would think the world was coming to an end. Anyway have any of you had so many bad things happen to people you care about in such a short time? How did you deal with it?

Wow, that is a lot of bad stuff. You will have to focus on the good things and count your own blessings just to stay strong. Lend a helping hand to all of those who suffer around you and need it. Lastly you can only repeat the mantra "This, too, shall pass!"

I'm sorry about everything thats been going wrong doll.
When bad things happen to me or those around me...I guess i tend to talk to you about it. Other than telling you about it I go for long walks and think about it or talk to my mom. It all depends on whats wrong.

You know you can talk to me anytime about things that are going wrong right?
