Reading your words is like reading my own. And I know how you feel EXACTLY regarding mysterious behind-the-scenes workings.

My mother died of glioblastoma 2 months ago, so I have been through the entire range of emotions.

Back in November, not only I was laid off, but so was my sister. As is turned out, my mom took a turn for the worse a week after we were laid off, and that month that I wasn’t working (I found a new job immediately), I was at my mom’s all day – and my sister was running around, finding a hospice, finding in house care, social security info, insurance stuff, etc.

It had seemed, at the time, like being laid off was the worst thing when, in fact, it came at a perfect time. I began working at a new job the day we put my mom in a hospice, and my sister found a job the day of the funeral – she signed the contract that day after she was done with all the arrangements that needed to be made.

I know nothing can really help you, and I don’t know you personally, but I’ve gone through it all. Feel free to read my blog or contact me at any time if you’d like.

Oh Wow . . . sounds like YOU are the one with lots going on. I’m so very, very sorry. I’m really on the edge of my seat right now wondering what I will read next. We too have had sickness in our family with my FIL, whom I love like my Daddy . . . so I certainly can understand where you are coming from. There is a soft place in my heart that hurts for you now. You, your Dad, your Mom, your hubby, and your kiddos are in my prayers. Sending big hugs your way!

Thanks for sharing…
Your story reminded me of past situations in my own family. On the tough days, we need to be reminded of what’s important. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the story…for I know God is awesome.

Your family will be in my prayers.

May the God of hope fill WHIMZIE with all JOY and PEACE as she trusts in You, so that SHE may overflow with HOPE by the POWER of the Holy Spirit. (adapted from Romans 15:13)

I love you, friend, and I stand with you in this.
