I am not afraid of:

I have been alone in our house for over 4 months now. I guess not really alone. We have a dog and 3 cats. I have faced all that has come my way to keep things maintained and prepared for the winter. I have done things I did not think I could do alone. Then I think about Jackie - she is being cared for but she too must feel alone. SHe has not been home for 4 months. SHe cannot talk to anyone - even me - about her feelings. I wonder if she is there feeling like I do right now.

 

Since July 14, 2008 I am no longer afraid of:

 

the dark

being alone

and monsters under my bed

 

going to the dentist

or doctor

or dying of cancer

 

asking for help

accepting help

and asking again

 

being perfect at work

being perfect with my family

being perfect with myself (almost)

 

I am not afraid of my past catching up

or leaving me behind

or me leaving it behind

 

I am not afraid of thunder

the howling winds

or snow

 

I am afraid of lighting

it struck

and it struck hard...........

Susan,

 

You and Jackie both have had a rough 4 months and have endured a lot. Good for you that you have overcome so many of your fears.

 

As we're human, we all have fears that we are always facing. Understanding and coping with our fears is all we can do.

isn't it amazing when life throws us curveball we all get courage to get that inner strength to face all the fears. someone once told me you have that inner strength within you to get through all the hurdles in life. I guess what does not kill us makes us stronger. since my stroke I realized we all human have that light or inner strength within us. though in hour of need we need gentle reminder not to ever give up. life is worth fighting for, & does not come with any gurantee.
