Ok so some of you know this year has totally completely sucked for me.

In Jan my dad passed away, this about killed me.
My Uncle passed in April
My Great Aunt passed in May.

Now my Brother was in an accident, he is ok but still. My Grandfather had a stroke and was in the hospital.

Now my poor cat and best friend has critical heart failure and is very sick. Its Christmas time and I may have to put my baby down! I cant have kids and my pets are the only kids I have. She is five years old, got me through college and my first jobs. Has been my baby and best friend and I cant imagine my world without her. Egyptian Maus can live up to 12 or 13 years so for her to go at 5! This is crazy!

I'm stressed enough with worrying about my grandparents and my family. We are closing on our first house in Jan and now my baby is really sick! I'm working 70 hours a week and omg I just need a break. Life I need a vacation.
I want the last month and a half of the year to not be sad, to not give me any more pain. I dont know what that is so much to ask for damn!

Anyway, we go to the vet in the morning to find out what I will need to do. I spoke with the vet today, I may have a very hard choice to make in the morning. Damn.

Damn Sorry to hear But my offer from before stands, you can always message me if ya need to chat

I'm sorry to hear about your losses.

If everything follows the natural order of things, you will see your grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles all die before it is your turn. You will also see many of your cherished pets die too. Death is a part of life. The truly unfortunate will see their children or grandchildren die before they go.

I don't say this to be morbid. Facing the fact that you will lose most of your loved one means you should appreciate and love them more with the time you do have with them.

I wish you comfort in your grieving and a better year next.

Sorry you are going through a tough time in your life, man. I hop ethe house stuff goes smoothly, at least. and then you can forcus on that stuff. Hope your cat ends up being ok, but if it's really sick, it's best to have her pass now, and not waste money if there is no chance she will survive with any sort of quality of life . Don't take that as me being heartless, I know how sad it is to lose a buddy - I had to have my cat put down when she was 6, and she was AWESOME. I was away at college, and it SUCKED. I STILL miss that cat. If the treatment might help, and you can afford it, that's a different matter entirely. Look at Nick and his Dog - he was supposedly "a goner" YEARS ago, and he never gave up on his dog. and he came back from the brink (at least twice) and even scared away a burgler (and other stuff).

But losing your Dad.. losing a parent... That is something I am NOT looking forward to, and I am sorry you had to go through that and losing your other family members. Had a lot of loss last year, and it aged me...

Just spend some quiet time with your cat and I hope things turn out ok.
Sometimes, you hafta find your own "break" . Find some simple pleasures/distractions.

Good Luck...

Seky has critical heart failure and if she lives she will be on meds for the rest of her life, luckily that means baby aspirin so the meds are cheap.
I worked in a vet clinic for a couple years and if it is in her best interests I will put her down. I will not see her suffer needlessly.

I have 4 parents, and I am not looking forward to loosing them. I'm 25 and I was a big Daddy's girl. I talked for a while with him the day he died and he was fine.
To this day, almost a year later we dont know why my Daddy died. He was cop and an ex-Seal who was perfectly healthy. The hospital never did an autopsy and then my Daddy was cremated before we even got there. I wasnt expecting my Dad to go at 49. Hell I would have expected to bury my Father (63) before I had to bury my Daddy. I'm very blessed to have such great parents, I have had 4 parents most of my life as my biological parents split when I was really little and got married after that. Since then my whole family has gotten along, even taken trips together. I never had to deal with the Divorce/custody battles.
It just really sucks because right as it seems like everything might just come together and work itself out, something else gets thrown in your face to really mess it up.
My Dad never got to see the floor plan for the house. He will never get to see me graduate the academy. My grandparents may not get to see me get married.

Ok, you live, you die I get that. But does everyone I care about have to go at the exact same time?

Sorry for your losses this year, we never stop putting those we love in the ground, human or otherwise.

I had a stroke in 04 and I’m doing fairly well now. Well for me and all my other problems. So Gramps will improve every day.

I know these are just words but 2 lines from 2 different movies come to mind that are very true.

What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

Every life comes with a mandatory death sentence.

Hope things go good in the morning with your kitty.

Losing so many loved ones in such a short time must be really rough.

I hope things get better for you.

Life can be LIFE. My hubby (84fiero 123) had a stroke in 2004, Then a quadripple bypass in 2008. His mom died in 2003, she and I were really close. My dad died in 2005. Keep thinking good thoughts. Sorry about the kitty , i know loosing a pet is tough. Good vibes sent.

So sorry to hear of your troubles. Not to be, ... uuh ... trite(?) but remember the blessings your losses brought. Appreciate the pain as validation of those blessings.

If I could give that to you, I will.
Prayers and good vibes your way.

Its official, Karma hates me. Or hates my family. I dont know what I/We did but apparently we deserve it.

Found out today my Brother-In-Law has cancer. He is in his 30's.
Its in his mouth and the doctors said they will have to do surgery and he will have to take medicine and undergo chemo but they are not 100% sure that it will fix it.

My poor sister is beside herself. My brother looked at me and was like, wow WTF dude! What else?

Wow Im so sorry you and going through all this. Its a lot to deal with in one year. I lost my Dad too and I dont know why you cant have kids but miracles do happen. After 2 years lots of money and drugs and surgery it did for me You are never given more then you can handle and the weight you bare only makes you stronger. I hope 2012 is a better year for you.

Sometimes all you can do is get up in the morning and take one step at a time until you can hit the pillow again.
I'm sorry to hear about your pet, I was in the same situation and now I just cant bring myself to have any more pets.

I'm probably the last one that can send you good Karma but if I have any coming to me I will send it your way. I swear sometimes the only joy I get is the drive into work and the drive back home. Everything else just sucks.

Hey Jake hon, I know thats about how it is right now.

My brother and I are almost looking over our shoulders watching out for something else to get us from behind. He fell down the steps last week and rolled his ankle really bad so he has been on a crutch. Now they are thinking they will need to X-ray it again to see if there is a hair-line fracture in there.

uggg, come on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hogmanay (New Year in Scotland) and lets just get this over with.

I'm not a smoker or really a drinker, but man its starting to look like I might need both before this is over. At lease the garage is warm and I can play with the car
