Help Me . I've Fallen And Must Get Up!
Well, my ranking numbers have taken a bit of a nosedive.....wonder if it's because I haven't posted anything? Maybe that lack of visiting lately? Perhaps the minimal comments? hahahaha
Just a 'check-in'.....this time of year is still hard for me.....I had to release my baby sister from a coma a few short years ago on December 5.....Thanksgiving Day was the last 'live' day she had and it was so joyous and full of love. She was supposed to come home from the hospital's rehabilitation before Xmas of that year; the day after Thanksgiving I got a call to rush to the hospital....somehow she had a 'spell' while eating and fell off her bed hitting her head HARD in 3 places before hitting the floor....30 minutes of CPR before she reached the main hospital and she was in a terminal coma.
Needless to say, I went into deep depression. This year I am doing better at my resolve of working on what was to be our 'joint effort' online....but this time of year is just hard to take. She LOVED the holidays and even though she was wheelchair bound, we would go for evening rides to take in the lights, etc.
Recently, I almost was unable to renew my annual membership and if it wasn't for the compassion of Kyle giving me an extension...well I don't want to think about it. My gratitude for this opportunity also got me pondering on how ungrateful I was being by not giving more effort online.
So here I am, off the 'pity pot' .... yes, I am depressed beyond belief .... but this venture was important to my sister and gave her hope. How dare I dash that hope.
I truly wish all Happy Holidays.....even if one does not necessarily celebrate the 'holiday', one still shares in the joy of the festivities and special feelings people let out this time of year.

Aw, Rosie, I feel for you. I can only imagine how sad you must feel at this time of year when you remember your baby sister with such fondness. A bitter sweet time for you. I hope you are able to find joy bubbling up inside you as memories of happier times enter your consciousness, and as you create something special in your sisters honour. Creativity can be very cathartic. Love. Peace. Healing.
Bless you Rosie I lost my mom to a bathtub fall 10 years ago But sensed shortly after her being reunited to my dad and happy going on beyond. Stay strong during this temporary period of separation!
Thank you Rosie, that was a very inspiring, sad, challenging, emotional and all the rest post......keep your chin up, I believe just like Marcel said, your sister is with you always, don't be too hard on yourself!!! Sending you lots of love and light :)
Rosie, you haven't lost your sister. She is within you and probably hopes you will have a lovely holiday season so the vibes will pass on to her.
Thank you, Rosie, for sharing your challenges. My prayers are with you as you move forward with progress in mind, Wishing you the best with this holiday season.
Marcel...
Greetings Rosie,
I can relate: I just lost my mom April of this year. I was unsure about what to do during Thanksgiving, but I kept busy and had a wonderful time. But Christmas will be a different story.....although I didn't live with my mom, we both lived in Queens, NY, and even with my sister in San Francisco, CA, we would still make a big production of opening gifts. I would often go to my mom's place, a day or two before Christmas, and stay a few days after. I've been keeping myself busy with volunteer activities, and of course WA, but there's a lingering sadness beneath. This time last year, I spent Christmas with my mom in the rehab facility. In all honesty, there was a part of me that didn't want to decorate my place, but I needed to do that for myself.
I can only hope the memories of those we love, will provide some sort of comfort.
Go in peace,
Veronica
We are much alike, my friend.....my sister had given me one of those heaters that look like a fireplace. I just pulled it out the other day and 'decorated' it for her......guess we're doing the right thing.....I am always here if you need a shoulder or anything.....Your openness really meant a lot to me, thank you.
It's easy to want to retreat, but holding those feeling inside don't help. Nothing will ever make the pain disappear completely, but sharing with others helps, so I believe we have helped each other Rosie.
Im sorry to hear about your sister. May the memories live on. Is been 3 years for me since my husband passed, and his memory lives on.
So sorry for your loss as well....the holidays can sure do a number to one.....may you bring the joy and love to the holidays as you have always done, I am positive he knows and is with you.

Let things keep moving as they are. Do not run after these small temporary set back or small wins. Just keep working and you will be rewarded. After all you have just allowed someone else to overtake and win, let others be also happy.
God is kind and will be with you.
Regards
