When will this be over?

I can't stand feeling like this. 5 seconds longer is too long. I realized today that I am not able to take care of my children by myself (when I am feeling like this). I am their mother and that is my job. I know I have to go through this to care for them ultimately, but it was a very difficult thing for me to admit. Please continue to pray for strength.

Barb, you have so many people around you that love you & your family. Let them help! At a time like this so many people just don't know what to say or do. Let them help. If it makes you feel helpless, commit to helping others when you're thru this ordeal. I'm sure their are a lot of young women who need support while going thru this. I can't think of a better person to have as a support system. When your done your own situation of course. There is a reason this is happening to you. Be patient and the answer will come. All my love

Hang in there babe - I know that this feels so hard ... well not feels hard ... it is hard. Just do the best you can to conserve your energy so that you can make the most of your time with your boys when you can.

Please don't be afraid to ask for help. You have many friends and people who love you. Trust me, each one is happy to do what they can to help. I realize that I can't be much help with the boys from here in NH, but Bonnie & I are happy to do anything that we can. – just tell us what it is. :-)

I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but you will have better days. Just trust yourself to know what your body needs. Also, I think it’s important to know that God understands if you can’t make it to church… I’m sure that God is much more interested in your faith and well-being,

Barb – know that we all love you and we all pray for you daily. Just trust yourself and trust God – and don’t be afraid to give yourself a break.

Love,
Jim

Barb,
I'm only around the corner - DAY OR NIGHT - just call. Maybe our family will have to start taking evening walks over to your house, just as you often do to our house. When we get there, we'll ask, "Can you guys come out to play?" just like David does when he knocks on our door. We'll be happy to help you with whatever you need.

We love you and are praying for you.

Barb, as everyone else has said, please don't be afraid to ask for help. I know that sometimes that is hard. We're all here for you and will help in any way. You are in our thoughts and prayers, as is the rest of your family. Keira has added Aunt Barb, "who doesn't feel good", to her prayers at night.
