48. Thank you for your words and share
Tue Oct 21, 2025, 11:07 AM
Tuesday

Hello. Thank you for your words. Because of your recent post I have finally had the courage to come on this wonderful site for the first time and post my own comment……I have been here for years …….daily even (multiple daily visits) but just never “spoke”.

But this morning I read your words and I felt such deep compassion and care for you……understanding your struggle right now…..reading your words moved Me so much. Your pain, your struggles.

You see, I have been in bed since Friday night, with a broken ankle……immobile to do the most simple of actions…..and I, too, have been in one big “scared” miserable state. I’m a 67 year woman, retired, never had to rely on anyone…until now……and I just can not get out of bed (no matter how much I try to push through the pain) to do my most simplistic routine. I’m not in as pain as you describe, I am so so sorry yo are suffering , but I too Am frightened, of the “Now what” doom……...hahahaha “is this the way I go out?” I laugh to myself. I feel your words.

So as I read your comments, I feel encouraged to push through……….Thank you for such honest raw feelings shared……my friend…..yes being vulnerable and in pain sucks……but please Know this ~you HELPED ME today…….if you can share the difficulties you are now facing with medical conditions……than I can too……..

Stay strong (I will too)….and thank you for letting me be apart of your painful journey. I promise to be more active here, in this community. I need a community, this incredible group of personalities……..fantastic readings throughout the years of “my lurking “. Glad to be here now.

You and your words helped Me so very much……..so to you I also say Stay strong, because this community Needs you! Thank you………You are in my prayers today, most certainly!
