Too Much

I can't believe the things that are happening in my life, the people I am losing.  I know it's not about me.  I'm sounding like a cry baby.  Three years ago my husband of 38 years died unexpectedly.  Less than a month ago my mother died suddenly, and my younger sister  lost her battle with cancer.   Now, my younger brother is fighting a very serious, possibly terminal, illness.  Why does it all hit at once?  How are you supposed to keep picking yourself up, time after time, when so many people you love are suffering and dying?  I'm in need of some wisdom tonight.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More
