STARKISS Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi All, I have a cousin who lives in Nova Scotia who is dying of ALS and it wife tells me that it will not be much longer... I would love to visit him but can not afford too... They tell me he will not live much farther than the end of this summer... I really feel awful for his family and wish I could be there to support them in anyway... He has a thirteen year old daughter and two sons that are in university... just pray for the family please and maybe a miracle will happen... shelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STARKISS Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks Niamh, I appreciate that I saw his updated picture on facebook and it made me cry so much to see how awful he looks now and it is so sad to see it... Shelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfh Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Shelley I am sorry about your cousin and that you can't be with the family at this time. I know that is very difficult for you. I wish you peace with this situation. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyT Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Shelley dear, as I said to you in a personal message earlier, I hope you will consider going for the short-term, time-limited option, as I think something is better than nothing, and you may find it to be quite helpful after all. I'm so sorry that you're going through such a rough patch right now. We are thinking of you and keeping you in our hearts as you find your way through ~ and I hope it brings you comfort to know that you are not alone. We are always here for you. ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARKISS Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi All, I did make a phone call to the Durham Catholic Family Services and they told me that it could take up to three months before I could get a therapist... I am so upset I get so very low and feeling like I just want out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfh Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Good for you to call. I hope you told them this is urgent and that you would come at the last minute if they have a cancellation. You might also try social services in your county as they usually offer free counseling services. We all have to keep on keeping on even when totally discouraged. Peace Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Shelly, I'm sorry to hear about this. You might want to try calling them back again, sometime you get further with one person than another. Try a different day of the week/time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
