Hallowe'en

[wimseynotes]

 I don't really know why it got to me this time.  What it was about this particular year, or the circumstances, that set me off.

Partly, it was a prayer list I typed up for my job (I am now working at a church) for prayers for the dead to be said at a Mass on All Souls' Day.  That started it, I suppose.

And then it had been a long and frustrating

I understand your emotions a lot! I too feel loss. That which has occurred and that to come. I find myself unable to function properly and have shut my doors, physically and emotionally, to others. I know I shouldn't but the pain is too much, at this time.

I'm the full-time care giver for my 86 year old Mom, now in the last stages of Alzheimer's. She knows me and she doesn't know me; she has memories of things that never happened and can't remember things that did. When she dies, I will be lost. The stress of my own (self-inflicted health problems?), Retirement on Social Security and a pension of less than half of what I made, all my life... no home of my own, no other family, all piles up.

So, I trust in a prayer also, remembering that Job was affected beyond what I have, and was not abandoned in the end.

Keep a good thought and when you need to cry, let it come!
