Really Needing Knottie Vibes...

So.

My step-dad was hit in a head-on collision last week.  I'm not allowed to comment on any specifics, but pretty much he's in really bad condition.  He's in Philly and I'm in Athens, GA and I just want to hop on the next plane and sit beside him all day...

Then today I get a call informing me that his mom has lung cancer.  She started chemo today but was given 8 weeks.  They hadn't told him because they don't want to stress him out, and I still don't know if he knows.

They say bad things happen in three's and, though I hate to jump to this, both of my brothers have rare diseases that are slowly shutting down their bodies.  Both have already outlived their expected lifespan.  Now, since my world seems to be crumbling around me, I can't stop thinking about if they're next.  I don't know what I would do...

So I'm asking for good vibes.  I'm not usually the person to come out and do this, but I feel helpless being down here (boss won't let me go home because UGA has a home game this weekend and I have to work Thanksgiving this year too).  I feel like at least asking for positive vibes might help a little bit.


Thanks ladies.  Hope everyone is having a better week than I am <3

    I'm so sorry, jacqui.  One thing that (somewhat....) helped me during horrible times is to think, "it's just another day" about holidays - not to be cynical, but more like "I will be ok, even if bad things are happening on that day, it's ok, just another day, not anything special."

    It might be ok that you have to work, just b/c it will give you something to focus on.  Try to practice breathing calmly....in, one, two, three, four, five.....out, one, two, three, four, five.....biofeedback and all that.

    I don't know if that helps or not but I do want to say I know how you feel and I'm so sorry....just...it sucks, I know.

    Thanks so much for your support ladies.  I really appreciate just knowing that people are sending good thoughts/prayers and that someone cares.

    whereyat-- the breathing thing you suggested really helped.  Calmed me down a lot already.  It's good to think "just another day," but that's so hard sometimes.  Normally work would keep me occupied and definitely will on Friday at least, but tonight we're dead.  I work at a hotel and we only have 2 arrivals left.  It's giving me a lot of time to think :(

    Thanks again for everything ladies.  I'm so grateful to have people that will let me get things off my chest so I don't look like a crybaby at work hah

    Sending you good vibes from me too (a little later than all the other vibes, but they still count!)  Plus I'm closer to philly so I'll send some vibes up there too (might get there faster).

    I'm glad that that helped, however slightly.  I'll try to think of some other tips tonite.  Maybe put on a familiar TV show or something to help you fall asleep. (For me it is "Friends" or The West Wing).  Take care and like I said I'll try to think of some other things that helped me....
