Status: offline 		I was listening to my favorite radio station online today..and the dj just so happend to mention this site.  I must have spent two hours reading and saying a silent "prayer" before I finally registered myself. 

Wether some may think one is more important than the other...they all need them....

Now I am askin for some prayers or whatever you yourself may call it....

I am a 30 year old mother of twins whom I fought with every ounce of energy I had in me to keep them alive.  They are doing great and are healthy 4 year olds.  Before I had them, I lost a child due to a hospital failing to send me to a facility capable of handling such an issue.  I felt suing would only magnify my pain and it would still not bring my darling son back so I chose not too.  This January I lost the one person in my life who has always been there for me quite unexpectly.  A shock and a void that I am still desperately struggling to deal with.  In June, I was diagnosed with severe Fibromyalgia.  I have NO health insurance and am very limited to what I can try to relieve my pain.  I have no been able to work and bills are mounting up with no relief in site.  I go from angry to hurt to extremely depressed all in one day.  ITs  a constant repeating thing in my life.  I now find myself struggling with every wrong move I have made throughout my life thinking if I woulda have done this...i wouldnt be like i am now.  What I am asking you is for a simple prayer that I might find peace within myself and acceptance of my life as it is now so I may become whole again.  Please.....I hear prayer can do wonders.....

I will start a candle site under GABS for you.

Sometimes the stresses of life just become too much - and something has to give. I'm so glad you found this site as it has helped me enormously - mainly, I have to say, from praying with and replying to others, but the answers to prayer on this site alone have staggered me. It was no coincidence that you heard about it on the radio show!

I'm not religious, but describe myself as spiritual. Brought up a Christian, I still try to be a follower of Christ in some form or other. I'm a Spiritual Healer, and think of Jesus as being the first healer, but there were many before him of course.

Talking of the stresses of life, I'm not at all surprised you have Fibromyalgia. Stressful events are one of its triggers. I too have it, but fortunately not severely, more in 'flare-ups.'
I have had a lot of stress in my life for the past 13 years and I think the body just gets an overload of it.

I can say that boosting your immune system as much as possible, eating a good diet, gentle exercise to help stop the muscles stiffening, and REST when in pain or very tired. I also have Acupuncture, which helps a lot, and I take Homoeopathic remedies sometimes; also herbs and supplements. In a nutshell - anything that will help. If you know of any Healing centres near you, they shouldn't cost you anything to go and get some healing. Reiki is similar. Read any funny books lately?  Laughter is a real tonic, especially when feeling low.

Please don't go over old 'stuff'......it's past - leave it there. Forgive yourself and anyone else from the past you feel angry with, and start afresh. You and they did the best you could at the time.

Your darling son is keeping watch over you I am sure.

Live one day at a time and keep asking for help. It will come, but you have to keep looking out for it. When your twins are asleep, light a candle and ask for the things you need most that day. Also visit this site when you can and light more candles.

Much Love     J

I too have found great joy in lighting candles and saying prayers for others. And for the support of loving people who are part of this wonderful supportive group. I hope that you find the same love and support.
 
I will light a candle and say a prayer for you and your twins. Try not to dwell on the past, but look to the future. Look into the eyes of your wonderful twins. They need their mommy to be happy and they are the sunshine in your life.
 
Keep returning here as often as you need to. You are not alone. May God Bless you, bring you happiness and freedom from your pain and make you healthy again.

I'm so glad you've found this site, as I have recently done.  I think with frequent visits you'll find a peace here, almost a reverence in the support you will receive.  There appear to be many different kinds of people here who (though they do not tout their personal religions) find solace in a variety of ways and from a variety of sources.  But sharing that comfort is what appears of importance, and we all need that, for sure.

I have a four year old step grandson who I happily watch over while his mother goes to school.  Even in limited doses, he's a strength drainer.  With full-time twin four year olds, you must be continually on the go.  Remember to take a little time for yourself to relax, refresh and renew.  It sounds like an impossible suggestion, but it's oh-so important. 

And stop asking "what if."  We've all done that to ourselves, but looking back at the mistakes we humans all make take away from the time we have to examine how to best approach the future.  "J" put it wonderfully well when she said:

I am lighting a candle in your group and will pray for your renewal and comfort.  Please stay here with us so we can see your progress.

With love and concern,
Lolly
