You will remain in my thoughts (and on my prayer list). And I just wanted to say that I have always appreciated your comments on my blog. You've been one of my more loyal commenters, and your comments always gave me a bit of a lift. It would be so nice if there were something I could do to reciprocate, but I will just say thanks.bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-40574844766082148462014-06-18T07:35:37.276+01:002014-06-18T07:35:37.276+01:00John, I am so sorry, and I hope that you get throu...John, I am so sorry, and I hope that you get through this dark patch soon. It does indeed sound "too much" and I hope you can enjoy the summer in peace without any more blows. I do believe it is a blow when a friend loses a beautiful child in this way (and what an adorable little boy you show there). Not only does it bring back bad memories for you but it strikes at the heart of everything that matters in life. So I wish there was something I could say that did not sound like a cliche. I can only say that I am feeling for you, I feel I have got to know you a little bit and do wish you well and to see the light at the end of the tunnel. .

I have no words or experience to say anything but how sorry I am and prayers and hugs to you all. My Sister lost her youngest son when he was 18 and life changed forever for her and all of us. Please rest and take all the time you need. I'll be here when you come back.

I am so sorry that the stress is bombarding you from all sides right now, and so sorry to hear about your friends' loss of a child. I cannot imagine anything more devastating.

I too have clinical depression and know pretty well all there is to know about it -- including hospitalization. I have had it for 30 years, and have to go for medicine check every two months. (Don't know if I've told you all this before). I've been struggling the last couple of months, hence the decrease in blogging. It took about five years to find the right combination of medications, but it was worth it. But now they tell me, as the body ages the medicines can either cease working or give the wrong effects. How's that for someone who also has anxiety and panic attacks! Ruby Wax is right on target. The brain is an organ and just as diabetes is a malfunction, so the brain can have chemical imbalances. <br /><br />I don't think you will mind, John if I pray for you, as I do for myself. I know we don't share that in common, but please know that I want only the best for you. Anyway, just put everything else aside and try dealing with the stress. As Ruby says, I'm sure we were not made for this kind of world!<br />Kind thoughts go your way.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-46892531103361571122014-06-09T19:53:26.435+01:002014-06-09T19:53:26.435+01:00As you know, I have some experience of the pain-ex...As you know, I have some experience of the pain-exhaustion-frustration circle too. Throw some extra burdens into the usual mix and no wonder if it all gets too much to cope with. Take care of yourself (and Jo, and what/whoever else is most important). No doubt you'll know within yourself when it's time to get back to Blogworld communication again! ♥ Lots of love to you & yours.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-62413979409387330792014-06-09T17:32:55.302+01:002014-06-09T17:32:55.302+01:00I'm so sorry to read about your friends' l...I'm so sorry to read about your friends' loss - and the hard time that you're now experiencing.

My second daughter, our third child, was stillborn after i went through a surgery to try to save her life. My heart goes out to you and your precious Partner-Who-Loves-Tea, and to Adam and Katie.<br /><br />Depression is a monster, i've battled it, too.<br /><br />Know that you and your P-W-L-T will be in my prayers for your comfort, and for healing for your depression and her whiplash. Also i will pray for Adam and Katie.<br /><br />All the burdens are too much, that's why i cast my cares on the One who can carry them.

I also know the devastating effect of family problems and childhood trauma and abuse. All I can say is that you are in my prayers. I agree with Ruby. Far too much information come sour way these days. Even Facebook which I choose to be involved in has its negatives as well as positives. I suffer from daily pain too but obviously not as severe as yours. Thanks for your honesty, that in itself lifts some of the stress. The word that comes to me is HOPE.
