Death and Repossession

Nurses Recovery

Published

My husband's car got repossessed on Wednesday. We were two months behind because I got called for blood and nail tests and that ate up our monthly budget. We both work long distances from home so we need two cars.

So, the car got repo'd Wednesday.

And my dad was shopping and dropped dead yesterday in the store.

The police showed up to my house to tell me. I cannot believe he's really gone. He was the only family member who never abandoned me. He was my world.

And to top it off, I was called to drug test yesterday. Sobbing hysterically, I called my case manager...and she at least had the heart to wave the drug test.

I just can't take it anymore. Life keeps dropping catastrophic bombs, one after the other, and I just can't take it.

Just venting.

So sorry, losing my parents was tough :'(

Please know that you matter and you are not alone. Loss and getting hit with one thing after the other when you haven't even had the chance to catch your breath can make you feel as though you just don't have the strength to even try to get up again.

Please know you have brothers and sisters in the Lord and in your profession that care about you and your loss.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. Please please be kind to yourself. If you cannot eat, at least drink something healthy and allow yourself to rest and grieve.

Lord, please comfort this child that you love. Help her to know that you are carrying her, so she may see that that is why there is only one set of footprints in the sand...God keep her close to you and surround her with your angels and your love. Give her strength and direction when it's time.

Help her to turn to you when she is overwhelmed. Let her feel your love.

In Jesus name - Amen

Oh dear! I am SO very sorry! Please know you and your family will be in my prayers. The loss of my a Dad has been by far the worst. He has been gone almost 3 years - it still feels like such a fresh loss.

Sending you hugs!

Jason Isbell says it so well. :inlove:

Can't see the video because of the blocking software.... is it "Last year was a son of a *itch/for nearly everyone we know/I ain't fighting with you in the ditch/I'll meet you up here on the road/I know you're tired and you ain't sleeping well/uninspired and likely mad as hell/but wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again"?

Good call!

So very sorry Eris. I know how it feels to lose a father that is your world and a big part of your foundation. Sending comfort and prayers your way. When I was grieving someone close to me shared this: "Grief is the price we pay for love. I hurt so deeply because I loved and was loved in return so deeply." It helped me when I was hurting to focus on the love. I didn't realize at the time that this was said to me how much it would later help me through my grief. I truly wish I could hit a "pause life" button for you. {HUGS}
