This past week has been very emotional. The "new normal" of bad things in the news. Hearing about struggles that friends are having to go through. One friend who has already survived cancer is having major surgery (but hopefully won't hurt anymore afterwards). Another friend lost a child very late in pregnancy after enduring more loss in the past few years than anyone should ever have to endure. In my own life some one very very dear to me has been diagnosed with cirrhosis. Not from drinking or risky behaviors not that that would make it any easier to accept. This person is a loving, hard working person who adores their family and just doesn't deserve to deal with a disease in which the only cure is a liver transplant.
Some days it's hard to get up in the morning when you are afraid the day will bring more bad news. You want to scream "WHY?" Why does it feel like wonderful people have to go through such hell when there are so many evil people that coast through.
I know every person in the world has their struggles to go through. Life is full of ups and downs. You have to weather the storm to appreciate the rainbow. Its the continuous storm with no sign of a rainbow that takes its toll.
Hard times are a part of life but it doesn't make the anger less real.
Or the worry of the unknown less real.
Or the sadness the real.
Or the struggle less real.
