I just can't get my footing

September 20th, 2013 at 04:07 pm

If you have read my blog, you know that I have had 2 monumental losses in the last month. I am trying so hard to just function and continue on. But just as I was starting to "get back on my feet" we have suffered another loss. My dog ws hit by a car and died Wednesday night. She was one of my best friends and again I am devastated. Yesterday, a truck threw a rock and cracked my windshield. And when my husband and I stopped to grab some dinner, his car broke down....as a huge storm rolled in. (Thankfully my husband can work on cars and we found a covered car wash to do it at.) I just can't seem to get my footing. I don't understand why all of this is happening. And I know if I didn't have such a wonderful family and some great friends, I wouldn't be able to get through it. And in all of this, I am learning to really nurture every relationship I have. You just aren't guaranteed anything...including another day.


There haven't been any big changes in my finances. I am honestly just trying to keep things going. The numbers are down. And at least that is the right direction.

    I am sorry. (hugs) I wish that you weren't having to walk in this dark valley right now. I can't even imagine. I've been through isolated events that still hurt daily when I think about them, but never so much at one time. Take good care of yourself.

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog. If you can find time to list what you are grateful for, what IS going right each day, the outlook and your perspective are likely to change in time. ((Hugs))

    I'm so sorry about your dog. That is a hard loss on top of everything else. Try not to succumb to thinking there is a reason for your troubles -- these are all events beyond your control, and you are having a run of bad luck. In the future you will have good times again, and you will appreciate them all the more because of the sadness you're experiencing now. Hang in there.

    ((hugs)) CB is right. There's nothing personal in the universe throwing you a bunch of terrible events all at once. It's a cruel fluke, and it will pass. Meanwhile, it's OK to just stumble through doing the minimum until things start to clear up.

    So sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. I am still trying to get over losing mine over a year ago. She was my little girl.

    Ah, and here I am just fighting a worse than normal bout of menopausal hormones these past few weeks, not a happy camper and having very hard time shaking it off. Hang in there and I will too.

    I agree with CB, except it's not a run of bad luck. It's just s*** that happens, and unfortunately, all the bad stuff is happening at the same time. Hope you feel better soon.
