*hugs* For me it's, what's the point of it.

*hugs* =(

Sometimes the world needs people who care. Too many people give up or never care about anything. Good on ya.

*hugs*

*hug* ;c
Sorry to hear you're gong through this

naawww :( *hugs*

I tend to do "why now!?!?" when in reality theres never a good time for bad things to happen

I guess maybe its an innate subconcious kinda of reaction till we come to grips with new challenges

Yeah, I can empathize with those emotions. *offers hugs*

That you're not supposed to feel that life is unfair is one of life's most gleefully vicious lies. Of course life is unfair, and more so to some than to others. Whatever side of that fence you're on, it's okay to feel sad and angry about things that hurt. Anybody who tries to shame you into wearing a fake smile by telling you that there are people worse off than you is an irresponsible two-bit sham philosopher, and is trying to diminish you as a person whether they recognize their aim or not. You have to carry whatever emotions you fail to process, so take the time to work through it before the load crushes you.

i was like that, up until i jsut. stopped giving a fuck. for a good wile i cared and then i stopped caring what people think of people. i began to care more about others thanmyself. as long as they are alright. i could die now and be ok with it. so long as those i care about are ok. it takes some practice but not giving a shit helps with the 'why me' thoughts.

Ahhh, but that is my problem! Those I love are the ones suffering. I can deal with my own problems. For me, it's more of "Why them?" than me.

ah. just be there. loyalty is often a big thing. ive been on both sides.....way to often.

i suppose some people just feel that karma isn't doing its job and that they are being punished for doing no wrong. of course life does not always work like that, but it doesn't necessarily stop people from feeling that way.

joins in on the hugs.

*holds close and comforts*

If you didn't care, you'd be empty... and I suspect that'd tear you apart even worse. As ugly a truth as it may be, people are always going to hurt, are always going to feel disappointment. But if you strip your heart bare every time, there'll be nothing left for you. Empathize, certainly... but don't allow it to consume you. Otherwise, you'll be of no use to yourself or them.

I share similar sentiments. I dont have much money, and when I do come across money, it usually goes to helping someone else out, mostly my dad. It's tough to watch your loved ones struggle and feel helpless. I want so badly to have enough money to support all of the people and animals I love, but it can be difficult. I hope things look better for you in the future.

Fortunately the baby is doing very well. He's a fat, happy, healthy baby.

Very evocative. It felt odd to "favorite" a picture that makes you remember those moments growing up when it became clear that the world can be a cruel, unfair place, not just towards you, but to the people you love or even those you don't know who have done nothing to warrant the suffering they've gone through.

;-; *tighthug*

Who passed, if I am allowed to ask? I have recently suffered a big loss too.... I understand the feeling.

He hasn't passed yet, but it's coming. My dad was diagnosed with throat cancer about a year and a half ago. He finally agreed to treatment, which has been absolute hell for him. He finished recently and we thought it was finally going to start getting easier. I just found out that it spread to his brain stem so he doesn't have much time left. My brother, who lives with my dad, is being incredibly selfish and childish. He is being mean to my dad and it's really making my dad depressed. He actually told my dad that he's tired of taking care of him because he "has things to do", which is bullshit because those "things" are hanging with his friends and working out.. :U I live in another city and just had a baby, so visiting him is hard, which further frustrates me... I want him here.

On top of that my cat was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and it's really running her ragged. It was tough watching her suffer. She's currently in quarantine right now after getting radiation therapy. I think she's going to be okay, but it's been stressful and it's completely taken every last penny I have. With school loan payments due every month, and my teeth being in severe need of work, I'm pretty stressed. And on top of it all, my dad is probably going to die alone because I can't be there and my brother doesn't want to be. @_@ Bleh. Sorry for rambling on so long!

Oh my goodness... I'm so sorry to hear that dearie. I just had my mother pass away last Wednesday, so I understand the pain and fear, though mine was very sudden. Again, I'm really sorry to hear that :(

Ouch. I'm sorry for your loss! While there's never any joy in losing someone you love, I'm not blind to the fact that I do have a chance to say goodbye before he goes, and if there's any positives to this whole situation, that's one of them. My husband lost his dad to cancer in 2009 and everyone was able to speak to him one last time, moments before he passed. I hope I'll get that chance. My dad has been lonely for a very long time. It makes me so very depressed to think that it's possible he'll feel alone during his final moments, since he'll see it coming. I think my dad would be comforted, having someone see him off.

Right, that's the best thing in this situation. At least, I think so too. I hope for the best for you and your family. I hate to see people so sad.

*hugs* super sorry to hear Terrah... I hope everything looks up

I don't know the situation you're in, but reading the discription made me remember a quote I like that seems fitting...

“Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.”

- Samuel Johnson

Keep up hope, keep working at it, and try to see the sun though the clouds. Things will be better eventually. Even if it seems it is against the odds. I know from experience.
