An Eastern Orthodox Christian again giving God glory for the

[sprinkleeninow]

Roman Rite St. Anthony of Padua.

Been in rough shape lately. Almost had to move furniture around looking for fur daughter's favorite rope toy. I started crying bc of the pile-up on me today.

I prayed St. Anthony, please find her toy. About five minutes later she was in front of me playing with it. It was in her crate and I scoured it. Thot she took it in the bedroom last nite.

I appreciate all prayers at this time. My heart hurts badly. Concerned for my fur daughter mostly. She misses daddy. This just simply went all wrong.

"God is glorious in His Saints!"

2. I posted three weeks ago anticipating I wouldn't be posting very much in the Classical group.

My husband of 46+ years dropped on the bedroom floor three weeks tomorrow. 6:30 in the a.m. he was getting up for work.

He landed face down in dogga's bed. Thank God she slept with me that nite. Would've had another death. (Shudder.)

I knew it was bad when I saw him. Pulled his tee shirt yelling his name. No response. Put my opened hand flat on his back. Not breathing. A voice inside me said he's gone. And he was.

Facing a mountain of legal, financial, you name it, stuff to reconcile.

A 'friend' of ours for 34 years showed up and was helping, but he has a opinionated and authoritative personality. He hurt me several times already since the funeral and just today again. I cannot have him helping me anymore. It's his way or the highway. He starts screaming at me and gets very irate when trying to impress his 'expertise' on me. Been like this for 34 years so what exactly did I expect. Can you guess his political leaning? Made fun of Obama in emails. I endured eight years of it.

So be it if we severed our relationship. Only thing, he's tarnished his friendship with my husband. You would think he'd keep his promise to honor my husband. Stuff like this sometimes comes out when there's a death. And then there's my sister-in-law. Oy. May be best thing to have happened.

I moved from my home state out of love for my husband 34 years ago. He needed to get away from his family's business that was in turmoil.

Cause of death: cardiac arrest. It came to me several days ago that unrelenting stress over the last decades took him.

Please forgive me for elaborating so.

My DU family/community helps sustain me.

I really desire to stay standing and not succumb.

Much love to all....

5. Dear friend Sprinkleeninow, you are hurting now from several different angles,

and you have every right to feel the pain and stings.

Just keep the thought in a tiny corner of your heart and mind that you will get through it and survive, as has most of humanity that has suffered this intense pain.
All this is part of our larger, common humanity.

In the meantime, you have every right to do as you please in the moment, without apology to anyone. Just the explanation that you need the time and space to sort everything out on your own timeline.

Your faith is there for you, take what you need and what is useful to you at this time. Anything else will be there for you to pick up later or as needed.

I'm so glad your little furry one is there and present for you. I'm sure she misses her Daddy too.

Love to you in this moment.

6. From my heart to yours...
