Family help: I’m losing everything. - Help.com

Hi im like you loseing everything there is no god so that wont work i prayed there not real if he was we would not get screwed like this if he loved us.

I’m sorry to hear what you are going through. I am going through a custody battle from a marriage of 15 yrs, another divorce of a recent two month mariage, lost my career after 13 yrs in the sub-prime mortage business making GREAT money, possible Bk and also losing my home, while taking care of my mother who has cancer. My father passed on in 99 so I am taking care of her needs.

Wondering how I’m taking this all on? God first! then my WONDERFUL kids. quote from my daughter “I hope that if I have to go through as many challenges as you do mom that I handle it as well as you do”. Big Sigh! Total Hallmark moment.

Sometime we dont know why things are happening at the moment but they are all for a reason. The reason will come and you will be able to look back at this time . The day will come and the feeling of being able to get through it all will give you strength to be able to help the next person that may come alone that needs advice.

What ever it is that makes you happy do it! What ever it is! In these times I pray! listen to music, I look around where I live and I’m greatful that we are able to live in a country that we are able to become what ever we want to be. I have my moments of crying in my car and thats OK. Remember you are speacial and you deserve all you desire in life. I was blessed for the time I made wonderful income now is time to do it again.

Remember this too.. If you have kids they are watching how you react to your challenages. Teach them well!

If all that is said about me is that I am a great Mom then I consider me a richest person on this earth.

Take care of yourself and get involved in a church.

I would love to hear how this original poster is doing now.

Yes, many of us are going through exactly the same thing. If you can do a foreclosure great but you will eventually still not have a home and most likely not sale it for enough since the market is upside down after all. In fact I and my boyfriend of 10 years are going through exactly the same thing. Your pain in your back may be due to stress, anxiety, and depression especially if you did not have those symptoms before due to a nasty hormone called cortisol. You need to take care of yourself first and your home second. It is after all just a shell that eventually decomposes and then you just sink more money into it. Don’t let it define who you are and if you are young or strong enough pull yourself up from your boot straps. I certainly had the same back pain and even though I did lose my job and home to foreclosure I ended up finding strength in my faith. Soon after I went to church and actually spoke to a pastor (even though you do not have to), and read the bible based on my own individual references such as despair etc…God touched me and took away the pain. Yep, the pain is gone completely. It even cleared up my acne I had been developing due to stress over the last three years and now I am just beginning to lose weight and feeling healthy. I moved what I had, my son, and my cat to my boyfriend’s house and yesterday he received his foreclosure notice to leave in 1 to 2 months. Amazingly I did not cry and felt at peace we discussed plans and even our commitment to each other. It is making us stronger and not weaker. The truth if you just let everything foreclose and forget your credit cards, etc…debt it shoud disappear faster than a bankruptcy! We are planning to travel to states that have more employment, more fertile land, basically opportunity! I am removing my son from school and home-schooling him on this wonderful adventure we are about to take and a wonderful time to start fresh with all the knowledge we have now. No more debt, and nothing tying us down. Why keep doing what is not working? Do something new, if you have family that loves you then don’t worry what they think, it doesn’t matter. If they love you, they will always love you. Remember anything you may be feeling guilty about God forgives you! Read passages about Job! Same thing happened to him and it is a test of your Faith, and how you handle it is what matters. Stay happy in the face of adversity to keep the vessel that God gave you in tip-top shape that is what is your job on this short time on Earth. Lastly, tip…If worse comes to worse there are communities out there that will take you in regardless of religious beliefs or your present socio-economic level. Everyone pitches in and shares. Food is grown organically, Arts are encouraged, and what you sow is what you reap. God Bless you. Just google communes and you have a myriad to choose from, if the links don’t work just go into properties within the link to copy the correct email address and paste it into your web search bar! Good luck! I know you can do this and remember you are not alone! Right now over 800,000 million people are going through the very same thing! We just need to unite and re-organize! Take this as an adventure and an opportunity for a fresh start and not the bottom because you have your past experiences to ride on and it could be worse, you could be getting bombed! Take Care,

Listen, Get a trailer(mobile home). You can get alot of them around
the beach areas for under 15,000. Try to get certified in something. Maybe cooking or get some kind of trade. Live in places with a good bus system.

I too am screwed and losing everything I’ve worked so hard to build. I owned a small business for the last 8 years that is now not making a dime. I see myself flipping burgers or something like that, but it won’t keep my house and car. It’s very hard to hang on and stay positive. See you on the streets!

This is amazing I put these words in here and now I have been comforted by so many people going thru the same thing. We never thought it would be us, we were going to take on the world and then what happened. I believe you have to go thru some tuff times to know what they are and to really appreciate how great you had it at one time. We all could be any a better place if I would have only done??? You know what I am saying. We could all do it better if we had the chance. You only get one shot and man that really sucks. You try to pass the information on to your children and what happens they don’t want to here it. Well neither did you, You had it all figured out and learned the hard way. Why does it always have to be the hard way. Why can’t we be forced to listen. I really think that there should be some kind of schooling out there that prepares you for life. Not only History and Math and Science. Life, maybe you need to save for a rainy day but show them why show them the history of that and why it is so important to learn from the past that is what history is really for. I could have been the greatest guy in the world if I would have known all the things I know now. It’s hard to lose that 1st impression because everyone already has one about you. Live in the moment, the only thing you have to worry about is now, if someone is not knocking on your door and telling you to leave, thats ausome. You still have a place to live enjoy it now. If you have someone in your life or a family show them love. Just enjoy it, I do my best to live there but I am here because we all have our threshold. Good news I think I can keep going. I like that Idea of having know debt and no bills, I would just like to keep all the stuff like the house the car and all the furniture, ha, ha, ha. Well it has been great speaking to you guys, keep moving this to shall pass. It can’t always be good and I know it won’t always be bad. Let’s take a minute to thank God, for the air that we breath, the sun to keep us warm, eyes to see how beautiful the ones we love our, ears to hear them speak, a warm place to sleep, the ones we love, and the loves we dont love anymore. We will keep on moving, I will keep on moving, Let’s get moving we can do it. If we came into this world with nothing we can shure as hell start again and do it better this time. Let’s use all that knowledge and get it done!!!

Sometimes it is better mentally and physically to just let go. I understandthe frustration of letting something go you have worked hard for. I have done it and have allowed myself to return to the same position I was in ten years ago. My husband is very sick and has been sick his whole life. It is just getting worse. He needs a heart but cannot give up smoking. So if he doesn’t kick the habit he don’t get put on the list for a heart. Well that is one worry. I was dropped from working every week to every other week and finally dropped all together. My husband still works as bad as his health is and his job depends on the weather. So we are flat broke after this rainy winter. The house is soon to be foreclosed, my car has already went back. My 17 year old son is putting us through extreme emotional strain. He will be eighteen in August and I am putting him out on his own to figure out LIFE. I just lost my mother on her birthday (this was unexpected)she had no life insurance and I couldn’t get anyone to bury her without money. So that fell upon us too. I know blah blah blah same ol song and dance

I know how you feel. I am a whistleblower for an unsafe medical device, company tried to fire me twice. First saying I might be dangerous, then said I was a computer hacker. I am a white 55 year old woman, who just did the right thing so no one would buy a unsafe product and chock to death. After second accusation, I broke down, only got 4 months disability. I am losing my home to forclosure, I still have my loving husband and kids. But I feel I let them down. How can a company get away with doing this to good people?

Reading these post is all too familar. I too am in this boat. I had a good job, got sick and lost my vision. I was forced to retrain and still cannot find a job. I am loosing everything and no one will help.

My husband works hard, but we cannot make the note on our house where we care for my disabled mother and daughter. We can barely afford to pay the rent where we are. I have an MBA and still cannot find work. Credit is shot, cannot borrow a dime, and just received a notice we have five weeks and we loose everything.

Why is it that people in this country are not willing to help others? There is funding, there is a way to help the neighbor so to speak, and yet those of us facing this level of disability are simply ignored. We need help does anyone care to help at all?

I am asking for a job not a handout or someone that will beleive in a small buisness venture and allow me to work for my self? If any one can help please email i> small>(email removed) /small> /i> I am asking also for donations that can be sent to New Visions of America, Inc P.O. Box 1016 Montrose, Colorado 81401.

Please help if you can.

Hi,
I’m so sorry to hear about your situation.

My mother is in the same situation, she got divorced two years ago and ended up in the hospital shortly after (due to numerous medical reasons) she lost her job and is about to lose her house, she went to an interview this morning and on her way there a taxi skipped the robot and she was in a car accident, she was hurt and she don’t have a car anymore. Public transport in south Africa is not a option.

I am so sad and don’t have enough money to fix everything, I can only pray and believe in God, he wont leave het to live like this. I know its not easy, but I know we are suppose to learn from things like this. I’m not sure yet what we should learn. But be strong, we are all on this journey and need to be strong.

she also lost her dogs :-(
