Please say a prayer for jrhardhead, he is a member here and is very ill. He also could use some more games if anyone is interested in playing backgammon or Ludo! Know he would appreciate it!
toddioprod:It is like a breath of fresh air to read this post of yours. I was involved in a religion...which will remain nameless.....which had no tolerance for the points of view of others in other religions. In the end my experience in this religion took on cultlike attributes. I am now out of it but experience bouts of lonliness and other things attributable to those having left a REAL cult. Thanks for your post. It was read by me at the most important time: NOW. Made me feel so much better. Thanks, again!
To both bouncybouncy & prettymama for each is dealing with serious health problems of those that they hold dear in their lives, may you both find a sense of peace in these very hard times & know that many, many people wish for only the very best of outcomes

My mom and I both have lost 2 very dear friends of ours this past week..
Trudy died on Saturday night after her Cather ?? came out.. A tube into her heart.. (I am still confused on what the proper name of the procedure was).
Carol died of a heart attack earlier this week.
These are both sudden losses and have really shaken up our small towns.
We also had a family of 5 get hit with a car in front of the Court House yesterday evening.. we knew this family very well.. the baby and mother escaped without injury, the father ended up with scrapes and bruises.. the 2 year old ended up completely under the car and managed to just have bruises and scrapes as well.. but, the 4 year old has a broken pelvis and a broken femur. She is going to be in the hospital for quite some time. They are still uncertain about her growth plate. She will also be moved to a larger city hospital such as Childrens in Denver, or maybe one in Utah.
This family needs your prayers due to the long distance which can't be avoided. The family is not that financially set to get a home in the new area.. so let's pray for temporary housing to which the mother and other children can reside during the time her 4 year old daughter is being medically treated.
Thankyou..
Also.. Elaine is a liver transplant survivor.. she is over her first 3 years from surgery.. she ended up getting Strep throat and is having difficulty fighting it off. She is limited with intake of antibiotics. And was put into the hospital this morning. Let's pray for her to become strong enough to fight off the strep and allow her to heal quickly.
prettymama: I will say a prayer tonight for your family during this difficult time. I am sorry to read such sad news and hope your family can become strong again soon..
ScarletRose: Sorry to hear of your losses and I pray for you and your Mom. The family in the accident have my sympathies as well. If they take the little girl to a big city hospital, they usually have housing for the family of a child patient very inexpensive and sometimes at no charge if they are unable to pay. They just need to ask at the hospital! Hope this helps MsScarlet!!
Thanks everyone.. I haven't had a year of bad news since 1980.. and it just seems this year has been extremely testing..
everytime my phone rings I get sweaty palms..
Foxy.. thanks for the link.. I have another Friend, Helen.. who also has one of those.. the other night we all met at my brothers cafe after learning about Carol and when we mentioned how Trudy had died Helen told us about hers.. said if it comes out she has to get to the Hospital..
ScarletRose: sorry to hear about all your losses. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I think what Dolittle posted is right, and there is a Ronald McDonald house in Denver nearby Children's Hospital for families with situtations like this. It's worth checking out.
baddessi: Thanks Do and Bad.. I knew something about that, but appreciate the link.. Hopefully if they go to Denver they can be accomadated.. I am not sure about what Utah has.. I am thinking more though that they would go to the Childrens Hosp. in Denver.
Groucho: It does make you wonder doesn't it.I feel for those parents and the children that we'll be tramatized for years to come.Let's say a prayer for all.
Pray that I may be lucky enough to avoid future abuse. Was abused emotionally/psychologically growing up. Have come a ways since than. In light of receiving services from institutionalised organisation need for a name of person in case of major medical decision. Only person...my abuser. My decisions are not accepted legally and thus those of abuser (Mother) take more importance. I do see myself winding up in her care/abuse if the worst case scenerio presents itself. Have talked to the secretary of the deputy who represents me provincially because the Provincial government is the employer of this organisation. She says sending me to be abused is not tolerable. Thanks in advance.
Gentlegiant101: Your in our thoughts and prayers.A special prayer for your mother to guide her from further abusing you.Please know you can always come to this board for support.
