Guest pinkiwikisses Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 im not sure if i've already posted a thread here. i've been here for a little while now. my name is Jen, and im eighteen, almost ninteen, years old. i come from a pretty large family, but that could also be because im adopted, lol. i was adopted to two loving parents in June 2001 (i can't quite remember the exact day). i was no sooner baptised on August 25, 2001. um, i just recently graduated HS in May of 2007. yaaay, no more school or drama. lol, yeah right. so about my family, let see, i have two biological siblings and one adopted one. my older brother is twenty, and my younger brother and sister and both seventeen. no they are not twins (but they are five days apart). my younger brother is not my biological sibling, the other two are. my mom passed away from cancer just this last summer (2007). things have been kinda hard for my family but we are getting by with the love and support of my ward and Bishop. she had been battling it for about two and a half years. it first started in her pancreas, then eventually spread. the doctors thought they had gotten rid of the tumors but they hadn't. it had come back and this time it was desroying her liver and had moved to her stomach (which is why she hardly ever ate anything because the tumor had made her feel full). she barely could even get out of bed most days. i've never really talked about my mother's story to anyone, so im kinda keeping everything brief. this is a very hard subject to tak about, and for those of you who are reading this and have also lost a loved from due to cancer or an accident you probably know how i feel, and for those of you who haven't, it's just a big mixture of many different feelings running through your mind all at the same time. there is really no specific reason for me to tell you all this, i just felt that i needed to get my feelings out there because im usually very good at keeping my feelings all bottled up inside. it's actually quite relieving to let these feelings that i have kept bottled up for so long out. um, i don't really know what else to say so i guess if you want to talk to someone about the problems that you are going through, im a very good listener and can help you with advice on how to deal with the pain, since i know what you're going through. well, i wish all of you good luck in everything you do. Your Truely Blessed Friend, Jen <33 Quote

I wish the best of luck to your father who is struggling just the same. I will keep him in my prayers. It's a good thing that we are not alone and that there are probably millions of people out there just like us. My prayers and wishes for the best are with all those who are struggling with this same type of pain.My Love To All,Jen<33 Quote

aisling Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 welcome,pink! sorrows are hard to bear, but remember that the love we have for each other never dies, and we have a sure promise of being reunited with those who leave here first. my dad died just a year ago from cancer, and im taking care of my mom in her decline now. talking about the feelings can help, a sorrow is lighter when shared.

looking4afriend Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Hi there, I tried to leave you a message on your page, but it wouldn't let me cause I wasn't your friend yet. Thanks for your welcome comments on my page. I too have lost a family member to cancer in the last while. My eight year old nephew died of cancer in November after fighting it for a year. It was extremely hard, as he got sick and died very suddenly, and we had already lost my other nephew the previous year to another health condition. So if you ever need to talk, just let me know. Sometimes it is much easier talking to someone who has been through the pain themselves, although it was not my mother. Hope some happier days lie ahead for you. Take care and God bless. Quote

But oh well, you're my friend now (I think).I am so sorry to hear about your eight year old nephew. That must of been real hard especially since he just arrived at the age of accountability. But we will be reunited with everyone in the afterlife. And yes, you are right, it is easier to talk to someone who has gone through the same pain and tragedy you have gone through yourself.Thanks for taking the time to share. I hope everything goes wonderfully well for you too. And if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm a very good listener and can give some pretty good advice sometimes.Love and Joy,Jen Quote
