Brokenfriend,

I am so sorry to hear about the troubles you are going through with your family as well as your own health

I went through something similar when I was diagnosed with CRPS/RSD - my grandparents and dad didn't understand, and still don't understand what CRPS is.

I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and if you ever want to chat I am here for you

Best wishes
Alison

Brokenfriend, mon ami-

I am sorry to hear you are going through this! I know we've 'chatted' before on another thread in the past. Many :hugs: to you during this time.

Right now I'm in the middle of a few daily affirmation books, a book called "from anger to forgiveness" and "Eat, Pray, Love." Reading is my solace. Do you have a solace of your own?

Life is lonely, much of the time. We reflect to find our inner strength...that which keeps us going day in and day out. Believe me when I tell you that you won't find too many other areas on-line that are as supportive and understanding as this one. I am glad to see you reaching out to all of us

Do you have any goals or plans for this summer? Something to look forward to, instead of brooding on the never-were's???

Keep us posted
