This is my observation from scrolling tough the first two pages. I'm having a hard time, too, just got back from a heartbreaking week with my parents--my father has a new brain tumor that will require some serious decisions soon. Some of the Peas I noticed just now are julie5 tara595 katyscrap craftymom101 KikiPea marzbar71 teach4u and I know there are others. I try to believe in prayer, and most of the time, I succeed.  I know we have a prayer request thread, but I would like to offer a prayer right this minute for all these heavy burdens Peas are carrying today. Whether you believe in God, Jesus, Allah, or just a Light or a Force in the universe, I hope you'll take a minute and hold all the hurting Peas in your thoughts. God, we know theoretically that life isn't easy, but it's a lot harder to accept that when the grief and fear and pain lands on us hard and settles and seems like it won't go away. We ask for you to put your hand on each person in our community who is hurting and fearful. For those who are having relationship problems, we pray...for those who are facing illness, we pray...for those who are having financial problems, we pray. And for those who are facing several of those stressors all at the same time, we especially pray. We ask that you surround each hurting Pea with the comfort and support she needs, and make ways for each of them to get through the hard times. Please put the right people into each person's life who can help them in the right ways at the right times. Please give them hope for better days ahead. Amen. Love you Peas, you are all special to me!  |

Thank you Mystie for including me in your post. This week has been extremely hard and I am going to self-medicate with a bottle of wine this evening! I appreciate the thoughtfulness and support. I hope the other peas who are hurting and suffering experience relief soon. Hugs. |

That was really beautifully said. I haven't had much in the way of time lately. I get to catch peas in like ten minute increments. All of the peas tagged, I might not have had the chance to read your individual threads but my prayers are with you. You have offered prayers, encouragement, advice,and just plain commiseration with me and on my behalf. And I promise once I catch my breath a little, I will do my very best to try and uplift where i can. Hugs, my friends.

That was such a lovely and warm post! I also pop in and out of here, so I do miss a lot. I feel so badly for all of the Peas going through a rough time with medical issues, issues with their parents/children/families, financial and emotional issues, etc..... My heart goes out to them. This IS such a supportive wonderful place to share your woes, get advice and get a listening ear. Prayers to you all if I haven't posted on your particular threads. xo

Thanks for the nice post! I know in the grand scheme of things, my problems and miniscule and 99.9% of the time, I know and appreciate that. I love that this place exists and we can vent our whines and annoyances.  |

The sense of community here is one of the best parts of this message board. It's nice to see everyone rally around any of our own who are hurting.

How lovely of you to post this.
We're going through a tough time, too. My DH's mom is nearing the end of a 4 year battle with lung cancer. We don't think she has more than a few weeks left. So hard on him and his sisters as she needs so much care and doesn't want to leave her home. So many friends and cousins have come to our rescue with their time and their love.

Thank you, Mystie and the rest of the peas for the encouragement, prayers and everything. You have no idea how much this support means to me. I've been a pea for well over a decade and the peas are such an amazing group of women. We are truly blessed to have this community.

Mystie, you are such a kind, thoughtful woman. That's always stood out about you. It just confirmed that again when I read your post, when you're going through difficult times yourself, with your father.
Thinking of, and sending my best to, all of the Peas who are struggling right now.

Mystie. I’m very sorry about your Dad. It’s so hard as our parents age. I’ve lost both of mine over the past few years and now I’m on the way to becoming an aging parent myself.

Thank you Mystie for a beautiful prayer.
I really do believe in the power of prayer and I love it when others pray for me. When people post about their struggles my reply is almost always is "I'll pray for you,"
I hope it doesn't sound trite, because I really do pray for my pea friends, as I'm sure other peas do as well.
This board makes me understand why people in real life make casseroles when people are in pain. You know your casserole really isn't going to make them feel any better, but it is a way of showing you care. I think we all feel so helpless when we read about someone's struggle over the internet and can't really do anything tangible to show we care.

Mystie I’ve been too humiliated to log back in because of course I stayed because of course I believed he would change. And I really appreciate your prayer. <3
