Feeling Shaken

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 735

(((Mercy,))) I am so sorry to hear your news. Yes you have to be shaken but, there is no reason for you to feel guilty. That won't help you to be strong for your cousin which is what she needs most now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your cousin. And please, keep us posted, there is strength in numbers and I am sure we all want to continue the prayers! Love and hugs!

Guys, I just read all your responses....and I can't thank you enough for your kind words. I know these things befall us as being part of this world.....but sometimes the irony of circumstances throws you for a loop. You are all such special people. Just like smokers seem to have a bond......US EX SMOKERS HAVE A MUCH STRONGER ONE.

Aww, Mercy. You have such a big heart and your cousin needs all that light and love that shines from you. The enemy would have you all turned around and focused on condemnation and guilt but that isn't why this happened. You know that God can work all things together for the good and you are in His grip my dear, He has a plan. Prayers for you and your cousin.

Mercy, First off, keep in mind not all lung cancers are directly related to smoking. If you feel guilty, perhaps you could something for her? She'll need lots of support in the weeks to come. Treatment will take a lot out of her. Something as simple as bringing dinners over could be a big help to her and her family. Danielle, Bilingual Health Educator

Mercy, you have touch a spot for me. As you may know or not I lost two sisters to lung cancers and it has taken me years to quit after they died. One quit for 13 years and one never so I just didn't know what to do, so I continued to smoke. For a very long time I lived in the fear of getting lung cancer and I mean big time fear. Then when the time came that my older sister had found out she had it and I was the same age the fear left. Why? I don't know. Oh it is still in the back of my mind but it does not consume me day and night. Why your cousin got lung cancer who knows, but don't feel guilty. You know it won't help you or your cousin. Mercy you have so much faith, use that to get you though. Lean on your God and let him walk you with you. You have my prayers.

Mercy, When I was sitting in the emergency room with my youngest and his broken collarbone, I wanted his pain. He's such a great kid that he didn't deserve to be suffering � my rationale - but life just isn't like that. Dwell for a while, it's only natural but you have no power over fate, que sera, sera. However, you do have the ability to cope with what comes your way - and you will. Wishing you well, Penitent d1295 :)

Mercy! It only hurts because of your love for her Mercy! ((((((((HUGS))))))))))) It's not your fault. We don't know why God does some of the things he does, only He does. Take the opportunity to be there for your cousin, cook a meal for her family, give her a ride to a treatment, etc etc. This is a time where family is so very important, and so very precious. You are a wonderful caring person, Mercy. Be strong for her! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 274 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,850 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,890.70 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 33 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 10 [B]Seconds:[/B] 14
