I am going through it right now. I have an illness called PRP and trying to stay cheerful and upbeat when I know there is no cure and my only hope is for it to recede...that is a challenge...so far...so good..I've had it for five years.
The worse part, my personality is changing. I am not quite the laughing, and joking around person, I once was. I miss being me. But a lot of people have even worse challenges in life, so I count myself blessed. I have a very supportive husband.

Having a brain anuerism the doctor's called giant changed my life forever. It's been a challange ever since to have to retire from a job I really loved,to not being able to walk as well as I did before. My memory too,which I really used to prize ,is an on again off again thing. I've come to think of it as a way of telling me it was time for me to retire and time to do what I've always wanted to do. I just cant remember what it is.

Finding a way to bring meaning back into my life after my Dad's death. I honestly believed I would never be happy again. But I've found a loving husband and a new life in a new state, and am very happy now.

Seven years ago my 15 year old daughter died. That day I felt huge wings wrap around me and hug me with intense love & joy. I knew she was OK and in the presence of the divine. An awesome comfort to what could have been a slow descend into self pity & confusion.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

Last year my husband was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (lympathic cancer). It really shook us up. I went through a period where I was really unsure about lots of things, and truly believe I had a breakdown.
It probably sounds really bad talking about what I went through when it was him that was diagnosed!! But we both had a really, really bad time and it's not something I would wish on anyone.
He has completed his treatment now, and is undergoing 'maintenance' treatment regulary to try to stave off a recurrence.

My most challenging event in my life is yet to come. And that is being the God Yahweh's new spokesperson in our generation.

When my 14 year old daughter rebelled and eventually ran away from home - it was the worst 5 years of my life.

Age 19-21 was tough. I had an alcohol and drug problem, and I was homeless for about a year.
Now I'm almost 24. I'm married and have two baby boys and I'm happier than ever.
