Hard Times

[Giselle P]

It's difficult going through rough times. It's even more difficult feeling like the rough times are not times but life. A rough life. Ever since 2012 I haven't had a home. My parents and I just go from house to house- my aunt's, my uncle's, my grandma's. It's so hard being a teenager and not be able to have my own space. Sharing a tiny room with my mother- the same bed. It's depressing not being able to have friends over because there's not even room for me in the house I'm in. My world is crashing down all around me and it takes a toll on me- on my health. Anxiety takes over my body and the acid reflux burns my insides having no compassion. To make it worse my best friend has a brain tumor- had. On the night before her 17th  birthday... gone. I am an absolute wreck. 3 months later my other best friend's grandmother passes away; with no one expecting it. One second she was talking and doing her crossword puzzle and the next her heart stops. A week later I find out my mom has a tumor. So, yeah, I don't know how much more I can take.

Giselle,

Welcome to Grief Hope Network and thank you for sharing your story and your feelings.  I hope it feels even just a little bit better in doing that.  I am so sorry to hear about all the hard time and the loss you've been experiencing.  I'm sure I would feel the same, if I were in your shoes.  You have my heartfelt empathy. You have made a BIG first step in reaching out to others who know how you feel.  Grief always waits, so it's never too late to start the process of dealing and healing.   

All members here have empathy for what you are going through.  I'm recovering from the loss of my mother in February.   My husband passed away in 2004 and I started this site to help others a few years ago.  Please reach out to other members through the Network, Member Blogs and Forum Chats.  The chat room tends to have more people in it at night.  The Home Page has some good Blog Posts too.  I pray the resources here provide Help for Today & Hope for Tomorrow.  You take good care of yourself.  BIG hug!    

God bless,
