STEAM ROOM FOR ANGER

cake, new job in middle of this virus confusion, mx and PT? Rant all you want! And congrats on the job, incredible accomplishment right now.
In Feb I saw some brat (who was not ill) from the ship that was quarantined who was crying & whining because she'd just finished a month cruise in the far East and now couldn't go back to her life as planned. She was part of a world wide pandemic and she was worried about missing a social engagement! Wanted to slap the tv. Are people more narcissistic or do they just vocalize it more? My guess is mommy or money have always kept them from reality. Hate to see them try to run things or deal with their own or a loved ones health issues.
Rant is over. Thanks

My husband passed today. Our kids and I were there with him. I’ve never been with a loved one on their last breath. It’s so hard but yet it’s so peaceful.
-
ctmbsikia, yes, it is hard and also peaceful, a bit strange to experience. Know he will be missed but may he be at peace and free of pain now. Holding you and your family up for comfort, peace and rest, especially over the next few weeks.
-
ctmb, many have been following your story and thoughts go out for peace for you and family.
-
Ctm my deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family...Xo
-
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time 🙏❤️ May he Rest In Peace

ctmb, oh dear god. I am so sorry. You were a rockstar. You were the person you promised to be on that day when you gave your vows. You stood and were counted and we all hope that when we need someone, we have someone like you in our life. Someone who stands by us. You did. You walked the walk. And now, in your grief and the bewildering time ahead, I hope peace finds its way to your heart. Yes, peace and grief and anger can exist together. Expect them all. Anger, grief, they are huge, swirling feelings. But you know how sometimes, as the sun comes through the window just right you can see all the miniscule particles floating and churning in the air and every now and then one of them sparkles, like a tiny diamond. That is peace. The smallest sparkle in a swirling storm. When you are ready, you will feel it. I am so glad you were there with him. Wrapping you and your family in a big, sad hug. You did good, ctmb, you did good. Love to you.

such a sad tim for you and your family. I remember the day my dad passed. I will never forget, the feelings of love, and pain, and relief, and comfort, and anger. He fought so hard to stay, yet he struggled and suffered too. Please know that we all feel some of your grief and we wrap you in our thoughts and send you our love from afar. I am truly sorry that you have lost your love.

I am so sorry for your loss. His battle is over...now he knows peace. Praying for you and your children. May you have sweet memories of life together before cancer.
Sending big hugs💔.

ctmbsikia - So very sorry. I am glad you and your children were there.
When my husband died, I remember standing outside on the porch feeling like the whole world felt different, maybe an energy was gone. It was such a weird feeling I have never forgotten it. Some months afterward I went to grief counseling. It was religious based and offered at several different churches. It was called Grief Share and was very helpful. It brought up some of the things I felt and thought I was crazy, it was good to know I wasn't ….or at least not crazy alone. Peace to you.

So sorry for your loss.

ctmbsikia I'm so sorry. Hugs

AliceBastable your comments made me smile. Not because they were particularly funny, but I could SO relate to them. I have a friend, who happens to go to same church we attend, who just freaked out when she heard my cancer had recurred. "This is horrible! What if this happens to ME? It's the cell phone tower on the church!" I told her to stop freaking out. I wasn't, so why should she? "Just think positive and you'll get through this", she told me. Um, no, thinking positive doesn't "cure" Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. I'll "get through" this when I'm dead. It will be my fault if I don't get over this because I wasn't positive enough. (By the way, I don't think the 45 minutes a week you spent at church "gave" you breast cancer.)
I left Facebook a while back. I couldn't take the drama, the bragging (I went for a run today, took a wrong turn and ended up running an extra 40 miles!) I know what you mean about not wanting to unfriend her because it's the only contact you have with her, but sheesh - enough already.
-
ctm, I'm so sorry. I wish peace and comfort for you today and in the coming days.
-
You guys are awesome. Know it! Thank you for all your posts and support. You know I’ll be back soon.
-
ctm, meanwhile, take care of yourself, please.
