Family help: My son might be dying. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

My son might be dying.

He’s only 4 months old. He was born prematurely at 25 weeks gestation. His major problem is his liver and he more than likely will need a liver transplant; It is a VERY grim prospect.

I don’t know what to do.

I am a mother of a 3 year old, a wife to a husband, a guardian to my 17-year-old brother in law, work full-time as a manager, and a college student. I’ve got SO MUCH on my plate and it’s overbearing.

I HAVE to be strong for my family while I try to regain my sanity. I just want it all to go away.

What should I do???

Wow. That is a lot to have to deal with. Just remember, you don’t have to be strong 100% of the time. You are human and you are allowed to cry sometimes and look for the support of others. Please don’t be afraid to do that.
And don’t be afraid to tell people you need a break too. You need some time to relax, or even just to think without distractions, a chance to get away from it all. I am really sorry though. Please keep us updated on what is happening and if you ever need to talk, pop back to this post, or shout me

I’m sorry to hear of all your stresses… that is alot to have on your plate. I need to reiterate that you don’t have to do this alone, and you need to make sure that you take care of yourself first. You, your body, is a temple… A temple that others need yes, but if your temple burns down they what good are you to others? So please make sure you take time for yourself. That can be anything from a long, hot bath… to contemplative walks in nature. Daily meditation and journal writing is also a good way to escape a little. And remember… strength and courage is not always the loud roar of “I’ve done it”…. sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I’ll try again tomorrow”.

About your son - I have my personal spiritual beliefs. I would be happy to share them with you if you’d like.
Bright blessings ~ Richard

This is what you have to do.
Quit your job.They’ll pay you untill the end of the month.
before the end of the month apply back.then quit again.
you’ll get paid.
NEXT work on really really hard in college you need to use 90% on your knolegde.

THEN get an assistant or a nurse. you kid is in some need. so quitting work would give you more time to work on school.

you’ve prolly also gained weight so join a boot camp for moms it will keep you in shape and teach you how to be a really good mom. so when you Kids are older they’ll look at you like your a IDOL.

PRAY TO GOD OUR FATHER EVERYTHING HEALS EVENTUALLY.
