Haven't been around

Sorry I have not be on here lately. My divorce was finalized in December and I had lost my grandmother, had to put down a dog, and lost an aunt to meningiomas. My dad was killed in a car accident a little over two months ago. In that time I still finished nursing school, with straight As. I just registered to take the licensing exam in July. I wasn't nervous until I registered. Eek! I am exhausted and fighting the grief. Today has been a rough day so I decided to pop my head in here.

How has everyone been?

Ballerina, I am so sorry to hear about these losses, and especially that they are all hitting together. I hope you are getting some counseling, as this sounds like so much to cope with. Are you? Or are you leaning on close friends? I am glad you visited here, too.

Hi There. I am so sorry to hear of you experiencing so much lost. I congratulate you on you excellent work in nursing school though. I think you will do just fine. Meanwhile, I send you hugs and prayers of comfort and a 'glad to see you back' :)

P.S. As for me, still 'enjoying' this rollercoaster ride of life I'm on.

Dear Ballerina all I can say is your one strong lady as we all have to try to be and GOD is looking out for us all. I pray you will pass your exam with flying colors you deserve it! One good thing about this forum we all understand and nothing suprises us for our own well being surprises us as it is also a journey from within. Take care Debbie

Ballerina I’m so sorry for your losses. I’m very happy & excited for you finishing school. i know that you’ll be an excellent nurse. Continue to press & pray God loves you

Ballerina,

You are such an amazing, incredible person. Loss leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal. That is an old Irish saying. You have the most positive energy---I think I can feel it through my PC. I haven't been on the site much in the last several weeks. Am having some liver issues---lots of labs and other tests. It's "always something" as Roseanne Rosannadanna would say. I just keep on pluggin'. I am sending you peace, love and comfort. LupanCatwoman

Ballerina, so sorry for so many losses in such a short time. Sometimes it happens that way, why we will never know.

So proud of you for finishing school under so much stress! You will pass with flying colors and be the most empathetic nurse, patients will love you!!

Hugs to you!

I’m so sorry for your losses. Be proud that you finished school in the midst of such grief. It’s a challenge for anyone to finish let alone someone who battles this illness and who is going through such a rainy time in their life. I will never forget the day I got my diploma and had graduated Magna Cum Laude after battling it out with this disease and having two children. This may be a time of sadness but take pride in a job well done! Gentle hugs, Annemarie

Thank you all. I have missed this group! Thankfully I haven't gone into a flare from all of this stress, just super tired. I'm waiting for the flare to hit at any moment.

Hi

I hope you "wait" a long long time for a flare to hit. Well you cerrtainly have been everything in the past few months. You must be very strong. Congrats on graduating!! You'll pass with flying colors

Stay Positive.

PS you don't have time for a flare.

Cindy

Good luck on your exam.

Hi Ballerina! I am so sorry for what life has given you the last several months! But way to go on your exams!! Congrats!

I haven't been on much either. My recovery from back surgery is very, very slow and I don't have anything to say. I do miss you all but rarely on the computer anymore. Hugs to you and all the others. Reet
