Exclamation Birthday

Today is my birthday..not surgi-birthday but my real birthday..my surgi-b/day is 2 wks more to equal 6 yrs post.

For anyone who has been reading the blog portion of the site, you'll know I've been dealing with some very rough times. I find it hard right now to find anything happy-ness wise. 46, alone, nothing and no one but the kids and myself, 2 dogs and 2 birds.

I'm trying to find an endo-doc who will do the ROSE procedure to create my stoma back to the smaller size. I may end up being the 'guinea pig' for our docs where I work. I don't care. I just want it fixed.

The loss of my girl, my 'other daughter', has put me into a place I seem to be stuck. Deep dark grieving, beyond depression and I've had a lot of good things going on and haven't even enjoyed any of it.

I think about all the things lost to her. All the things she'll never experience. I have hit a spot I feel like I can't crawl out of. I don't know if I want to crawl out of it. That's the part that I know signals something terribly wrong.

My immune system and counts have gone even lower..2 red blood cells to my name pretty much. Sadness is not good for the immune system...love and happiness was.

Something has got to give and improve here.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Happy birthday Bree! I am sorry you're feeling down and I am sorry for your loss. I know it is hard when you lose something that means so much to you but what if you celebrate her life and not think about what she is going to miss. We are put on this earth for a reason and maybe she "completed her job" here on earth and for her to continue her "life" with you, she should be celebrated. Does that make sense? In my religion, we are told not to cry too hard or wail at the loss of a loved one because that loved one's soul feels all the torture of your sadness and it is no fair to torture that soul. Patience is greatly rewarded. I hope that I am making sense and that in some way I have comforted you. Keep your chin up. I hope that you get all that you wish for.......(((((HUGS)))))

Happy birthday Bree!

Loosing someone is terrible. I lost my father 1 year ago on the 22nd. My 5 year old cried for over 45 minutes last night saying how much he missed PopPop. It is still so fresh.

I know you are in a dark place, but you have to work on changing your thoughts to the possitives - to celebrate her life AND your life. Try to make yourself remember the great things, maybe try to write them down and review them often. For my Dad, instead of a "wake" I had a celebration on life party. I made all his favorites, made recipe cards of those recipes, put them together into little booklets for those who came over, played his favorite music, wore his favorite hat, made a poster with pictures of his life, recalled the great things about him.

Try and talk to a grief counselor - it sounds like you need to take that step.

I wish you luck with the proceedure.

Today is a day for you to celebrate your life!

Lots of love and good thoughts your way!

Jaime
