in all probability it will have a great influence of your cause of death.  How much it has reduced your life cannot be measured exactly.. It has reduced your life expectancy considerably but the term 'life expectancy' is only a statistcal measurement which has no real bearing on just 1 person.  Yes you might die of complications caused by Hep C.. You might choke on your next meal and die..  or a plane might crash into your house and kill you.. You might even win the lottery..\n\nWe were all born to live to die. When we are born or when we die we have no control over.. how we live our lives is the part that we do have control over.. act accordingly.

Hey sweetie...we all grieve in our own way and  our own timing. You are not a horrible person, it is very normal the way you feel.  I Praying can give you and your family strength, it  helps to get through these times, even if you do not believe in God but a higher power.  Talking to whom ever is willing to listen helps with the grieving. You are entitled to feel whatever you are feeling and then know you will get past it.  A simple I love you MOM when she comes back will be enough...and you will find that words will come that you didn't even think of.  Bless you and your family.

Yes. I have a very difficult time forgiving myself for many of my shameful actions, even though I've asked the Lord for forgiveness. In fact, some of the things that I regret I still ask forgiveness for, many years later. I know I don't need to, but I just feel so incredibly terrible about those things. I want so badly to be the person that God wants me to be. I want to have Christ-like qualities. It is so hard for me to understand why I can't get there! I struggle almost everyday with self control (especially control over my tongue). I would give pretty much anything to consistently maintain my self control, and yet I can't without God's help. I have found that if I forget to pray before I go to sleep (and thus forget to sincerely ask the Lord to allow His Holy Spirit to be with me every second of the following day to help me with self-control), I have a very hard time the next day. If I do ask, it's so much easier - I mean VASTLY different. I don't know why it seems as though God wants me to request help every night, but I'm sure He has a reason. Probably to get me to rely on Him more. That would be a good reason. When I lose my self-control and yell at my little ones, I feel so much remorse. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so my 4 and 2 year old are the ones who try my patience.  :o)  That is to be expected, and is not their fault (sometimes it is, but not usually)! I want to be a calm and predictable mommy, but it's very hard for me. That's all I have to say, as I am tired now and need sleep.  :o)

Hi!  My son was diagnosed almost a year ago with type 1 so I understand how you are feeling.  There is no cure for diabetes.  Yes, God can heal him but all you can do is pray for that and deal with the diabetes until then because it may never happen.  God would not have given you this precious little boy to take care of had you not been able to take care of him the way he deserves to be taken care of.  My heart goes out to you and I pray that God gives you the peace that he has given me to deal with this.  I believe that both of our sons will be better people because of this.  More compassionate and sensitive to others with disabilities.  If there is anything I can help you with or any questions I can answer or if you just need someone who has been there to vent to please email me at randareed1126@yahoo.com.  There is also a message board for parents of children with type 1 on the American Diabetes Association website that has an amazing support system.  Any questions you have someone will have the answer.  There are so many caring parents on their that have felt all the things we have felt and been through it all!  Here is the link to The Place for Parents messageboard http://community.diabetes.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=adaparents  \n\nGod bless you and your son.  You will be in my prayers.

Oh my sis... Hugs to my sis in the Lord.  I can't imagine how tough it must be.  But girl our Lord is STRONG and He is walkin with you every step of the way... And he's with your family too...  Sometimes the Lord chooses to heal us so that Everyone can see such awesome Proof of His power.  But sometimes... we well endure much so that those around us can see how our Faith sustains.  Look at Joni Eareckson Tada She's been a quadrapoligic for what 30 years... and people can look at her and say Look at the joy she has look at the love she shares despite what she has to deal with everyday.   You can be a WITNESS to how God heals the SPIRIT.... Let Him use you to be a lamp Shining bright.  I don't know if I understand all you have to go through or what your family is going through.  Just make sure that you KNOW and your family Knows... that God is going to give you  Healing no matter what.  Either you'll be healed of this illness and beable to testify to it for years to come... or you'll testify of the peace the Lord gives beyond understand you and HEAL you completely and bring you home... Too many forget that death for a christian isn't God letting you down... it's God giving the Best and COMPLETE healing and being present with the Lord alone could give.  As much as it breaks our hearts when the Lord brings someone home we can rejoice for them.  I'm gonna post you a few scripture addresses so you can look them up...or this email will take you a month to read.  God bless you sister... even by just this... short note from you I can see the Holy Spirit in you and I know He will tell you what to do with your family.  I know he will comfort you and them and hold you all in comfort and peace.  You are in my prayers.   you lil sis in HIM  -- jen

I'm sorry for what you're going thru.  Life is tough and this may sound tough but try it.\nStop focusing on yourself.  Stop feeling sorry for yourself.  It's okay for awhile, but you're never going to feel good if you can't stop thinking about you.  Pray and cry, but then wipe your eyes, blow your nose and look around.  Who needs help?  Who else needs prayer?  What can you do for others?  If you're going through a tough time it's the perfect opportunity to help another get through their tough time.  Selfishness breeds discontement.  Love elevates one another and helps us see beyond our own situation.  And when you reach out, others are going to reach back to you with open arms.  And you won't feel alone any more.

i have actually thought some of those things myself. I do feel selfish sometimes when it slips out when i ask God for petty things. i try to remember that God already knows what i need so theres no point in asking;   but i always pray for all the Mom's and babies in the world every day. and i always thank God for everything he has given me and my family. I hope that makes sense. I try to keep my prayers beyond winning the game etc. but i commonly ask God just to 'help' me or others just in general if they just need a boost.

what do you do as a job? i found that i had to change my attitude in a lot of different areas of my life. i don't know exactly what i'd suggest for you since i'm not sure what type of work you do. are you religious at all? that is something i got away from and i found myself sinking deeper and deeper into anger and despair. have you talked to your doctor about it? i have had to stay on an antidepressant. my family has a history of depression. sometimes we just have chemicals in our brains that are out of whack. it is hard to deal with life if your brain isn't working properly. i have made myself always look on the bright side. i dont' know you, but as a starter, you can be happy that you have a roof over your head and at least some type of employment. i honestly know how you feel. please don't consider killing yourself. i don't know how many times i made passive/aggressive attempts to harm myself. i was wreckless and i did not care at all. it's an awful feeling. i really suggest you talk to a doctor. psychological sickness is the same as physical sickness. some people do not understand that. there are methods to heal yourself. please talk to someone. i'll say a prayer for you.

Dont lose faith. Your daughter is at an age, where that kind of behavior is very common. I was horrible to my parents when I was that age. I was mean, and spiteful and I felt no guilt about it. I grew out of it, and now have a very strong bond with my mother.\n\nRemember, the Bible tells us all things work together for good, for them that love God. You may not see it now, but God could be using this for something that will someday be a good thing. She may learn a lesson from it, maybe it will bring you closer to him, or maybe it is something even bigger and better. \n\nNone of us know why God does what He does, but we have to have faith in the fact that He knows what He is doing, even if we don't know it yet.

yes, here's the proof (my proof):\n\nwhen my son was 2 months old he caught a virus that was going around..since he was so little they couldn't send me home with just any medicine so we had to stay at the hospital for a week until he got better..so on his 2 day there he got a fever i believe that it was 102.something almost 103. so i just started to pray with all my heart that he get better at least his fever to go down or disappear..i prayed and prayed for about 3 minutes before the nurse came in and took his temperature again..she took it and can you believe it his temp. was 98.8!!!no lie..i prayed some more that i was just thankful that he was somewhat better...no temp.!! but still had his other symptoms and it was ok because he wasn't in pain anymore...\nsee, i'm not a religious person, but i know that prayers do work if they come from the heart...

that was a very terrible problem...\ni'm sorry for what had happened to your daughter.\n\nsometimes life is unquestionable, even... it's unanswerable.\nwhatever you are going through in this life, god knows. he knows the best for your life, eventhough what had happened to you seemed so unfair. god said, god works in all things for your goodness. can you see the positive side from the problem you have?  if you havent, you will.\n\ni did something bad a few years ago i blame it on god, why did he let me do it. but... today, i know he let me experience it for my own good...\n\nhow can you bring your faith back? it cant leave you, it is inside you, you just have to awake it... ask for gods grace...

i've spent years pushing myself to exercise when i'm sick and then i just end up feeling worse for longer. take it easy and don't feel too guilty- you'll get back to your routine soon enough. take advantage of the time you have to let your body rest.

When I see my daughter struggling with hurt or sadness and not being able to fix it for her.  When we have to send my boyfriends son home, I worry about him.  When my boyfriend is depressed and I can't cheer him up.  When my mom is sick and I can't mend her.  I don't like to see my loved ones suffer.

First let me start with You have depression. You are in a funk right now. I too have my moments when I think that God has forgotten all about me or has even played cruel jokes on me. It is the depression. You mentioned God so that means that in doing so you have not forgotten him,he too has not forgotten you. It seems like things are so hard to take but everyday you have something good. you just have to look for it.  If you were to end life now all would be for nothing. besides the pain that all who love you feel in that event is so unfair. I have had to endure that kind of pain and I don't want to go through that again. However it plagues my family everyday. Things always get better. If you take medication are you taking it? Is it adjusted correctly? If not maybe you need to see a doctor. good luck to you
