What is the toughest thing you ever had to endure and how did you get through it ?

Question

I don't mean to gloat. I'm just going to a rough period myself (see my other questions to get an idea) and could use some inspiration on how to get past this.

Answer 1

well i was really tired but i didnt want to go to sleep but at the end i just slept. ;(

Answer 2

There have been many tough things I've had to do. The last
was to make a long drive home to tell my 81-yr old father that
my brother had passed away. I asked God to give me the strength and the right words to tell him. He is very frail. It was
very hard to do.

Answer 3

For me, I think it was when my son was born, and I realized that my husband (who is now my EX husband!!!) wasn't going to be much of a father, and wasn't going to do much to help me. I tried to hold in my mind the thought of my son, how I wanted him to be treated, and how much I loved him, despite the trials of raising him (he was no more difficult than any other child, as far as I know). I simply did it day by day, and did what needed to be done. Now he's 26 years old, a successful mechanical engineer, and I couldn't he prouder of him!

Answer 4

getting beaten up by an exboyfriend. i felt as if i had reached a low that i had never known before. especially because it lasted hours. i got over it by choosing that that was what i needed to do because i was smart enough to not let him win. it just takes time. everyone is so impatient. baby steps.

Answer 5

I think my divorce - close would be my father's health. Prayer and my faith in God to get me through each minute. Support of friends helps, too.

Answer 6

Life sucks man. My whole life has been one big struggle. Its been disaster after disaster. Keep your head up. Whatever it is.
