I see there is still a glitch with the blogs.

Hello there Nileyears,
You sure have been through the wringer physically! (((Hugsss)))
How disappointing it is to find that your family and friends seem to have abandoned you.
I certainly won't presume to give you advice except to, as a first step, please see your doctor in case you are suffering from post surgical depression. [It's similar to PTSD.]
Please don't hesitate to vent here in the blogs. I call it e-venting. I'm sure that some here have, unfortunately, had a similar experience.
I will focus positive energies your way. Big Warm Hugssss~~~

Hi there Rocket!! Yep, I actually feel like I went through a wringer.
That's it, the feeling of abandonment is what this is!!
I don't feel depressed, I feel hurt and angry at the moment, this too shall pass, eventually! Sharing seems to help and your response, believe it or not, will get me heading down the correct path.
Venting, or as I call it, sharing, seems to help put things into perspective, so much better than holding it in.
Thanks Rocket, positive energy is welcome here. Hugs back to you!! |

I am guilty of not trying to contact you...... you normally lead such a busy life, I just assumed you were busy and tired of the political rancor here in the blogs.
Remember, "men may fail you, your best friend can let you down, but keep your eyes on Jesus."
I know it isn't the easiest thing to do, but then at times, when it is the ONLY thing to do, it becomes easier.
I will be lifting you up in prayer, just as Aaron and Hur held up Moses.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
Nileyears replies on 6/22/2017 11:13 am:
Oh no no no Pat, don't you feel guilty about anything, if you knew, I know you would have been here for me. You remind me so much of my friend Judy, wished you lived closer.
Ha, actually I am sick of all the political BS, but as you know now, that's not the reason.
I am the worst at praying for myself, but have no problem praying for other people. Might sound funny, or strange to some, but I talk to God, not that he comes back with verbal answers, I just get things off my chest and figure when I meet him in person, he'll answer all my questions. He keeps me alive, so there has to be some reason I am still here, just haven't figured it out yet. |

I echo Rocketship's comments; she's a very compassionate lady. I know how you feel as I've been there but not quite as severe as what you describe. Fortunately I do have many friends who were and are concerned for me, as well as my son & family (plus late hubby's family). Over the years I've made many friends whom I'd like to say I've been loyal to in times of need and other. They in turn never failed to disappoint me at all. I only wish the same for you. But when you don't have many in your area you can count on, I'd suggest coming back here to vent. We will always be as supportive as we can. Bless you!

Hi French, I couldn't agree more with you about Rocket.
You are a very lucky lady to have all that love around you.
You and my other SFF friends have already helped in sending my thoughts onto the correct path, it does help to vent as I see now. So much better than holding it in. Thank you and bless you also. |

Good to see you again Nile. Hope you are feeling better soon. Sorry to see you have been let down by some friends and family. I sure can understand how hurt and angry you must feel right now. Life sure can be a bitch at times.
Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way. 
Nileyears replies on 6/22/2017 11:31 am:
Hi Maudie, it's good to see you too! I get better more and more everyday, still not strong enough to deal with my horses yet, so I have to rely on my daughter still for help.
Yep, life can be a bitch!
Thank you, hugs to you!! |

Hi Nile: I can really relate because when I was diagnosed with cancer, before I even had the surgery all my so-called friends stopped calling and I never heard from any of them again. It came as a real surprise as some of those people had been in my life for many years.
Nileyears replies on 6/22/2017 2:07 pm:
Hi Bijou, That is really sad to hear, maybe we let the wrong kind of people into our lives? A friend of 50 years dropped me like a hot potato, that one really shocked me. I was with her when her husband died, her BF problems, her shattered elbow and when her dog died just to name a few, yep, it was a shocker!
Maybe with us being sick it scared them, that thought came into my mind when I read your response. Maybe seeing us sick brought up their own mortality and by avoiding seeing us go through what we did, in some way they protect themselves. Don't know, just a thought. I know it was hard seeing my Mom and sister die, but it is a reality we all have to face someday. |
