God doesn't give you more than you can handle

I don't know if that reads as a threat or a promise. I guess it's all in how you look at it.
I have been absent here on myLot for the last month. It has been a not too happy time and I had a lot of unpleasant things to take care of.
My daughter had her little boy on December 15, that is the good news. He is beautiful. The day before he turned two weeks old he ended up in the hospital with severe respiratory distress and on oxygen.
Four days late4r her was finally breathing well enough to go home. Thank goodness. The next evening my daughter, his mother, had a heart attack. They said she had coronary dissection due to pregnancy and put in a stint. She is only 37 years old.
A few days later they let her go home and my mother passed away the following day. She passed in her sleep and we were thankful for that.
Two days ago my daughter was put back in the hospital with high heart enzymes. I don't now what is going to happen, right now they are taking more tests trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I hope they find out soon. I am terribly concerned.
I had a heart attack, just a little one, befor4e all of these things started happening so I am grounded here a few states away from my daughter so I can't see her.
In any case it had been an adventure, not a good one, but an adventure for sure. They say God doesn't give you more than you can handle, I just wonder how much he is thinking I can handle. It's a good thing I have a sense of humor.
Pray for us all please. I believe we need it.

Congratulations to you and your daughter. Glad the baby was okay and hope that mom is too. A double rainbow is rare but I have seen a few in my 60+ years. My thoughts will be with you. Take care.

@HazySue ......I saw one right over our apartment one day a few years ago. Blood clots? That can't be fun.

@celticeagle no, having a blood clot in heart can rather scary.

That is a lot to handle for one person. My prayers for you and your family. And totally agree with you. God will not test you more than you can handle. I'm sure you're a courageous and brave woman and will be able to overcome this hurdle in your life. May God be with you in this trying time.

That was a very difficult month. A good sense of humour does make things easier to bear.

I admire you when you say God gives only that much we can handle.

I'm sorry to hear your adventure. Yes, I likewise believe that God would not give us anything that we could not handle. He is always there to watch us. But I guess, we can not avoid thinking why he gave such sorrows, worries, or whatever to us. I hope everything's fine now. I will include you and your family in my prayers too. Get well soon. You can do it.

My goodness...I'm wondering if heart issues are hereditary? Sounds like it could be. At least the baby is ok...and hopefully your daughter and you will be..sorry about your mom.
PS: I don't think God threatens.....
