[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP. You are going through an extraordinary hard time and not sure many of us can really know what that is like.

In many ways, life is defined by suffering. Look to the fact that every single religion tries to address this. Whether we have a perfect life or one marked by devastation, we all end up at the same place, our death bed. I think those who have led perfectly sheltered lives can sometimes have a harder realization when things go wrong or when the end is near but those who know suffering can often see through the ephemeral better and focus on what is most important in life.

I would gently suggest looking into mindfulness practice and detachment. Buddhism has a heavy emphasis on these topics but so does your Catholicism. If you want to look into your own tradition, I would suggest looking into st. Therese of lisieux. Her way of writing can be a bit much but her message to do little things with great love, is an important one. To get through life you have to find meaning in the every day small things, to do small things well and with love. Mindfulness and religious practice will help get you there. Nothing else matters because none of it lasts anyways.

Good luck OP and I pray that things get better for you![/quote]
