Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind. ~Unknown
Thanks for this!

Most likely very true, but so hard to implement the changes. Don't you find this, too, TheByzantine? "All you have to do" suggests that is much easier than it is (at least for me, but I assume for many others here as well).
Thanks for this!

Thanks Byzantine for posting this. I first heard something very similar about 8 years ago. Wayne Dyer also states the same thing in his books & TV lectures.

I do believe this statement to be true. But implementing this notion can be very difficult - and that's where I always get stuck.

Still having "those" thoughts although they are not as frequent.

Mom and Dad are both dying...the time is very soon. I have no siblings...no close friends or relatives. I am scared to be alone...I don't know what to do or who to turn to...so, so scared.

I am so sorry you are going through such an emotional and difficult time. Do you have a T or a counselor? I'm pretty much on my own as well, just be kind to yourself and take baby steps...and use the forums here - you are amongst friends.

I'm so very sorry. I know the feeling of being alone. I also know the feeling of waiting for someone to die. You are not alone here. Spend as much time as you can with your parents and always remember the good times. Those are the only ones that matter.

I'm starting to think about getting a new dog. The pain and loneliness is just too much. But then I feel guilty about that because I just lost my dog. She deserves me mourning her and not replacing her so soon.

Even if I am doomed and am bound to lose everything I have left that provides me comfort, I have a great deal of comfort today, so I am enjoying today, and am laying groundwork to possibly avert doom, which, BTW, would only be loss of things, at this point.

I've been imagining seeing your mom and family in town since you left, them catching me by surprise... I didn't think it would actually happen. I was far less composed and it was far more distant than I hoped it would be.

So thankful, Porcupine2, that you would take a moment to leave me a few kind words...it does help. I am sorry you, too, deal with being alone. I don't actually mind "being alone," but not to the extent that I don't have any loved ones surrounding me. My parents and I have always been close, so this is killing me.

I have never owned a house, so I don't know how I'm going to take care of it, as well as all of the things that go along with funerals and such. Lawyers will be expensive and my disability does not pay much. I will get some money left to me, but most has been spent on keeping my Mom in Assisted Living...$4500/month. I am so frightened as I have no one to go through this with me...findidng the forums has been a Godsend...finally someone who will listen to my feelings besides me and my heart...which is broken.

I see both a counselor and psychiastrist...both have been helpful, but they are also trying to get me to see a social worker 2-3 times weekly. Trouble is, neither of them know who would be best for me and my personal situations. We are all doing some research.

Thanks again, so much, for reaching out with such kind and encouraging words. It helps to know that someone out there can and did make it, even though the circumstances were difficult. I wish you all the best.

Blessings ~

They found a problem in my pre-surgery heart test so now one day before surgery I have to go back to the cardiologist. I am pretty sure the surgery is now cancelled. It was a total hip replacement so I could walk. Now what.? I don't know how I will get thru the next couple days till Tuesday!!

Just wanted to say to wait until you know it's time. I lost my sheltie in January and the grieve was hard to handle. For months, the thought of another dog made me feel guilty. So much that I pushed away a puppy that could have been ours. I have a Pomeranian now and I'm still mourning my sheltie, but I don't feel guilty any more. When I met him, I just knew he was mine. I wish you the best.

My daughter is coming to visit for the week - I can't wait to see her and soak up her loving energy! This is the first time I've changed my 'mood icon' to something positive in a long time. Scary movies, popcorn and pajama days are in the near future
