In my life right now, theres a lot going on within my family. Yes there's fighting, but everyone fights sometimes, but thats not it. It deals with illnesses. When you have family member(s) that have an illness, wether they can get it treated right away, or it's serious, it's a hard time for your family, including yourself, to go through.
The first time, myself and my family had to go through something like this, was when my niece, who is 3 now, was diagnosed with Polysistic Kidney Disease when she was born. That was a couple years ago, so I didn't know what that meant. But today, I do. I did research about it, and it is quite serious than I thought it was. But anyways, she still has to get a kidney transplant. (She hasn't found a match yet), but until she gets one, she has to go on dialysis, and get all these other things too. But, she recently went to the hospital to get a blood tranfusion, but something went wrong, so she has to stay in the hospital for a while. This just breaks my heart, because she's 3, and she's so young & should be gong through this. And, she doesn't live close to me, to where I can see here, She lives in another state, so I barely see her at all. It is hard, knowing all this, but not being able to do anything about it, or see her. And when I think about this, I think about all the good times, and what she looks like. I don't try to think about the bad times, and all the hospital visits, because that makes me even more sad.
So my point is after that whole paragraph.... is to just find your strength within you. Everyone has that strength. Don't dwell on the bad memories, but the good memories.<3
The second time, was with my cousin, when he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. Once he found out, we had a benefit for him, to raise money to have the operation to ger rid of it. We raised enough money, and he got it removed. He has been brain cancer free for a yr or 2, but this yr, the Brain tumor came back. So now, he is back on radiation and all these pills. It kills me to see him take all those pills and go in for radiation every week. When I think about my cousin, I also think about the good memories. Like how he was before this all happened. And how he was after her was cancer free. It does help.<3
I won't explain all of the illnesses happening within my family, but those are just a couple. Yes, those are the serious ones.
But the point is, after talking about them... is that you think about the good, happy, and postive memories. If you always think about the bad memories, it won't help you get through these difficult times. It will also make you even more sad when you think about them and what they're going through. Fill yourseld up with happy & good memories about them to help you get through this. And, if thinking about those happy moments, still doesn't help that much, talk to someone. Talk to someone about all of this. It helps when you get these things off your chest, and once you do, it feels like a big load was lifted off of you, and it makes you feel better.
If poeple are going through difficult times like this, or similar, just stay strong.<3 You have all you family and friends to help you through this. Your not alone, not one bit. Find that inner strength you have in you.<3
