Having a really bad week, have had 2 young cousins killed in car accident ages 22 and 25 on Friday then mom-in-law at hospital yesterday with a very bad reception from staff and today was staying with mom-in-law cause was unable to care for self alone, and she expired and I brought her back. She is 72 and has 3 open heart surgeries and was very trying, was by self doing this and making emergency calls to boot. Can you believe the stress that I am going through and what makes this worse is this happened like this day with my day 19 yrs ago and i didn't have the luck that i did today . I relived that day all over ago and it has really been hard. plus my husband seems like what i'm going through is nothing compared to his arthritis pain. Makes me feel like i have done something wrong or something. can anyone tell me if i did this right or what should i have done different.

I'm so sorry that your going through all of this. It's very hard to loose someone, and to loose two at once is very difficult. I was very close to my grandma and my moms little sister who was only a year older than me. We lost them both in a car wreck so I understand how difficult it is.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks so much for your support and prayers and especially your hugs. Today the drs. told my mother-in-law that she was lucky to be here today, that if she had been home by herself that she would have died. I had work in the medical field for 21yrs and since I became disabled in 1997 I've to keep up on everything and am so glad that yesterday wasn't one if my fibro-fog days . But the stress is driving nuts--my pain level is sky high and my diabetes is up. My husband is better today said he had to deal with it differently. Told me today that he is glad that I was there and for saving the only parent he has left. How came we have to have this illness, the misery is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. My best friend found out last week she has rhemutoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, and possible bone cancer and I told her about this sight and that I would always be there for her and that this site would help with any questions and all the support she would need. I really am so thankful for all of you and hope that we can become good friends.--JoAnn
