Temptation comes back to me. And insistent. My mother in hospital, due to a stroke. And my brother, also have to be hospitalized, and now, my son is also sick. I am very confused, there is much to be I think. Hospital costs, and divide my time, to take care of mom, my brother, and also my son. I also have to complete, the housework. I tried to toughen up. But, I'm very depressed right now.

Sorry for what you are going through. In life we face many challenges but somehow we overcome them. Just be strong, have faith and call upon God and surely you will find strength and courage to move forward. We don't choose to be sick but diseases choose us instead and the only thing that we need to do is to let the disease know is not welcomed by all means.

Yes sweetie, you are all that, BUT you are also human.
Really, i meant what i said.
Your husband can get his finger out his butt and start helping around the house.
You are one, and one can only do so much a day.
You are not a slave, you have your life as well.
Remember that.

There are a lot of times in life when things happen and you have things hit you and you often feel overwhelmed. I know with myself I have experienced things like this, and it can be hard. Personally I hope that things are going better for you, and you have had time to take care of yourself as well. Will be Praying for this situation.

Trials, never stopped, struck me. I am very tired, and increasingly unable to undergo. My brother and my mother had gone home from the hospital, but new problems arise, and make me very down. Trials and problems, one after another, I have experienced.

I think what honor says is good, only be concerned with the most important, and don't forget to take care of yourself either, you'll do no one any good if you get sick..

I can certainly understand how a person whould be depressed when you have mother, brother and child all sick. Women are strong though and I have faith in you that you will be able to get all that you to do done. Try to take care of yourself though or you will sick too.

I am sorry to hear about this indahfth. Sometimes things happened at one time suddenly, without any reason. We may feel confusion, painful, sad and helplessness. We don't know why and how to do. I also have such experience. Maybe what we can do is seeing all these as a test, and they'll be resolved finally. Try to calm down and find some other people to help you. Take care of yourself and good luck~

I understand there is a lot on your mind.
So the only thing I can advice you is: take it easy.
You are just 1 person and you have exaclty as much time in 1 day as others.
Important is that you take care of yourself very well, eat in time and try to relax and get some sleep as well. If you break down all those who need you now have a problem too.
So make a scedule of what you do each day and when.
Also write down some time for you! Even if it's just laying down for 10 minutes on the middle of the day.
Ask yourself before you do it if this is really so important to do now or if it can wait.
Also: ask others for help and accept an offer/help.
Help is frequently offered by those we don't expect it from.
And about the hospital costs: don't break your brains about it now. It's useless.. try to do things one by one and live by the moment. It's the best way to get through this rough period.

Oh no all you can do is leave everything in God's hands. Pray insistanly for them all to get better. Visit each of them. Even if only for a short time. You have every reason to feel depressed right now. While praying for the others dont forget to pray for yourself too. You seem like the kind hearted type that would. God doesnt put on us beyond what we can bear. He also reads our hearts.

I feel for you . But you need to be strong for them. And yes house work should be the last priority right now, You can always come back to them. I wish them a very quick recovery.

This is really sad.
I know you are feeling bad and stressed thinking about your loved ones at the hospital and you doing all the things at home and taking care of them.
Pray and hope everything will be fine..don't let trials let you down.

hi friend, its sounds like a very bad news. I wish they could be good the sooner as possible. you have to think what is your priority, and what else you want to do it, the most important activity you must do it and carry on with your responsibilities, because you have to take care and be good by them because they need you. have a nice day and get well.

i understand how when in times of stress and troubles, even the littlest of things seem to add much weight to the load your already shouldering. I am no expert, but, here's my take on this, i hope you dont mind :)
first off, its ok to be confused. what matters i think is what you do despite the confusion. also, i was told by a professor of mine who is a clinical psychologist that, at times, what makes us feel bad, what troubles us, is not what actually happens in our life per se, but more on how we react to what's happening to our life. i guess it's like saying every cloud has a silver lining. i know it can be hard to think about the positive side of stress-filled events but, i do it at times and i can say it helps to make me shrug my shoulders, clear my head, and forge on through the next struggle. :)
i wish you and your family all the best! aja! fight on!
