hi everyone....
I posted this in general.... because it "feels" right... A while back I posted in General... asking for help because my friend's eating disorder was consuming her.. a friend who I have known... also as a neighbor... our sons grew up together... and my son is 23... my friend's son.. I consider my son...our families so close... that our son's consider each of our homes... their homes.... I asked for help here in General.. for guidance on how to help her with her Eating Disorder... she fought help... she had always been a kind and spirtual person.. The Eating Disorder took her faith from her.. and took away the kindness.. replaced it with a "meanness" and protection for maintaining her Eating Disorder at all costs...she rejected everything... and I know the true meaning of "helplessness"... that you cannot "force" a person to live... that you cannot force a person to accept a shred of help... that you cannot... force the blinders off a husbands eyes... to force him to acknowledge what is happenning... I have also learned... that it is not my fault.. that I am not "God"... that I can only pray and ask for help... that is my sirituality... and I know not others... so please do not take offense... I am not trying at all to "tell" others how to practice their own beliefs.... So... I have lost a life time friend... to an Eating Disorder... she has passed and it was very quick.... with no warning.. The warning was... of course... this life taking illness that she had... that took her... in an instant..... I have told her son.... that I am here.... that I will always... always be here for him... may love... and peace be in your life... as life is a precious commodity... and not to be taken lightly

I'm so sorry for your loss hon. You are an extraordinary woman and reaching out to her son and letting him know he is not alone, hence you are not alone through this difficult time. You and your friend and her family are in my prayers. She suffers no longer....she is at peace.  sabby |
