Thanks for sharing your experience with us and for being here to talk about the hard things. I hope that in some way this community can help you feel less alone and connected. Iā€™m not sure if youā€™ve looked at the links in the bio, but there is a discord server that has support focus teams to talk about and support each other for people either struggling with cancer or having loved ones affected by it. Thereā€™s also other areas to just be a part of and to connect if you feel like youā€™d like that support and love. I am hoping you and your mum have some time to strengthen your bond and feel close through this time.

It truly sounds like you have been dealing with a lot the last few years and now you are struggling with your own health problems. I know it feels like punishment, but itā€™s not. I donā€™t know why things happen the way they do and it stinks that all of this happened to you so close together. Please take gentle care of you. There are resources at Heart Support to help you walk this journey. You donā€™t have to do this alone. Please consider checking out the discord channel for Heart Support and the cancer focus group. We love you and we care about how you are doing. You are important.

Thank you for sharing this with everyone :hrtlegolove:

I donā€™t know how to even begin to express how much I feel for you right now. You have been through so much and you are still going through so much and I am so sorry for that. It is truly terrible that so many people have shown themselves to not be true friends and that you are being abandoned by so many when you need them most. Iā€™m so glad that you still have your mom beside you and that you can help each other through these incredibly difficult times. A small silver lining that, I know, but sometimes that little bit of support can mean so much and Iā€™m glad you have it. And Iā€™m glad that you are here. We do not hate you! I can promise you that and you are not deserving of anything but love, kindness, and understanding. We are always here for you and I hope that you are able to find some solace and community in HeartSupport to help you through all these hurdles and roadblocks you are experiencing. You are strong. You are wonderful. You are important. You matter :hrtlegolove:

Such a huge change with the loss and with your own health, Iā€™m so sorry that itā€™s been hit after hit of hurt and sorrow for you. My heart goes out to you, I hope this community can make you feel supported and seen

@heartsupport Thanks!! I Truly appreciate it. Unfortunately Things havenā€™t gotten any better if anything itā€™s got worse. Weā€™re Seriously Struggling and if things donā€™t change we may end up homeless. :disappointed_relieved::sob::sob:

That is so heart breaking, I can just imagine the stress itā€™s causing you and your mum. Is there support for you both during this time?

Hi there Friend!

First of all, itā€™s fabulous to know that Rickyā€™s music resonates with you so much on a personal level. Iā€™m sure he and the band will be pleased to hear this!

Iā€™m deeply moved by your incredible strength in sharing such a challenging journey. Life has thrown some incredibly difficult obstacles your way, and itā€™s completely natural to feel overwhelmed by the weight of these experiences. Please know that youā€™re not alone, and your feelings are valid.

In the face of such adversity, thereā€™s a quote by Haruki Murakami that comes to mind: ā€œAnd once the storm is over, you wonā€™t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You wonā€™t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you wonā€™t be the same person who walked in. Thatā€™s what the storm is all about.ā€

Your journey through loss and illness has undoubtedly changed you, but itā€™s also a testament to your resilience. Youā€™ve carried these burdens for three years, and that in itself shows immense strength.

When you talk about feeling alone and abandoned, Maya Angelouā€™s words resonate: ā€œIā€™ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.ā€ Your so-called friends may have let you down, but remember that itā€™s their loss not to be part of your life during this challenging time.

Itā€™s natural to yearn for normalcy and happiness, and you deserve both. As Viktor Frankl said, ā€œEverything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedomsā€”to choose oneā€™s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose oneā€™s way.ā€ Despite these hardships, you have the power to choose how you face them.

Lean on your bond with your mom, and donā€™t hesitate to reach out for support from cancer support groups or therapy. Youā€™re a survivor, and as Winston Churchill said, ā€œIf youā€™re going through hell, keep going.ā€ Thereā€™s hope for brighter days ahead, and you have the strength to find your way back to happiness. Your story can inspire others facing similar trials, and your resilience is a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

I hope these words soothe you in some way! :heart:
