Grief knocks the wind out of our sails for awhile. Then after the initial pain, it comes and goes unexpectedly. When my mom passed away, I wish someone had told me to put the money away for about a year, then decide what to do with it. Unfortunate...
I agree that it does seem hard to find honest, compassionate people sometimes. I have a few close friends, but sometimes I still reach out to people who hurt me. I'm getting better at choosing, but still need more practice before I start dating ag...
I would make sure he goes to a doctor for a complete physical and he may need to start medication for depression. You may need to put him in the hospital for awhile as well. Once he is past being suicidal, then you can begin marriage counseling to...
I am so happy that the people at your church were so warm and welcoming for you. Sounds like you have a beautiful church family again. God bless you all.
It takes a lot of courage to share something so close to your heart. May God bless you and restore your spirit, and give you healing and joy.
It sounds like you don't have much in common with these two friends anymore. I would get out and meet some of the other neighbors, invite some friends over from church, take a class at the library and community center, and get my kids involved in ...
Hi, John,
I apologize but I might sound critical here, but please bear with me and see that I'm trying to help. You say you were caught off guard and your boundaries were nowhere to be found. In my relationships, I realized I was having problems b...
I'm not sure exactly what you mean about boundaries here. Any time we open up the tender parts of our emotions to another person, we risk getting hurt. In fact, even the best people will let us down sometimes because we are all human beings with s...
Big bear hug from me too.
Love, Sheri
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Sheri
I find myself being resistant to change of any kind, even changes that I know are good for me. I'm scared of things that are different from my routine. I try to remember to treat myself with compassion during those times and do nurturing things fo...
I'm reading the book, "9 Things You Simply Must Do." One of the principles is that we shouldn't play fair because it messes up our relationships. When we only give back what we are given, then the first time we mess up or the other person does, th...
It helps to remember that the situations in the past are gone and we can't change them. We can let them go a little at a time. It helps to write down the habits and thoughts we want to change and make a plan to change them, then to take small step...
Hi, David,
What helped me with my mom is the chair exercise where you pretend the person is sitting in the chair across and you talk to them as if they are there and say all the things you want to say but are too afraid, angry, etc. to.
Also, wri...
I would also insist he attend a Celebrate Recovery or AA group so he will have some group support for the changes he's making. I wouldn't want to take on the role for his rehab by myself.
I would focus on the positive. I would let him know I appreciate his efforts to take steps in the direction to make his life better. I would read the book too and discuss it with him. The Christian faith will stand up to scrutiny. So I would compa...
Hi, Judy,
I'm sorry you are hurting so much. I hope your husband will put his arms around you and hold you. Jesus loves you and cares about how you feel. Love, Sheri
Part of me just feels really dumb when I try to love my enemies and pray for them. I feel like I'm somehow rewarding them for mistreating me. It seems like when I do this, they just walk all over me. I have to resist them to make them leave me alo...
You might like to read "Healing Is a Choice" also, to help you get through the grief for the relationship you had before, and help you get started to build a new one. I have trust, boundary, and confidence issues too. David is right. Lots of peopl...
Remember when you pay bills to prioritize - groceries, house, utilities, transportation, then everything else. Love, Sheri

Discoveries
I went to Celebrate Recovery this week and wanted to share what I learned from this, my family issues, my former marriage, my job situation, and my own struggles. There were some things going on there that I didn't understand and that poked me in my hurting places. I think the issues we face in these groups come from the same types of childhood trauma. Some people handle them with drug, alcohol, food because our perceptions of reality are distorted. We have to learn to love and take care of ours… Continue

Dilemma
What do you do when you think you have made a good decision in your life and it turns into a terrible, overwhelming, destructive situation and you don't have the resources to get yourself out? The people you go to for help treat you worse than the place you are in already. They make you feel like you don't deserve anything good.
You finally get out but you have hurt people by getting their help and you try to make it up to them but they never forgive you. You are always a bad person, but you re… Continue

Carolyn said… - Hi Sheri, sorry I've not been around much lately. Between 2 car accidents, hospital, test, rental cars and just trying to get to work, it's been a real struggle with life.
I'm always happy to see you here. Thanks for brightening my day. You are greatly appreciated.

- Hi Sheri,
I just wanted to stop by and let you know how much I appreciate your insights and encouragement you share with others. Even if they are not addressed to me, I need to hear it, too.
Thanks for being YOU!

Gem said… - Isn't it sweet to find a good church? Lot of grandma's and grandpas where I go. Also they are pretty schoolarly which I like. Since that's how I am. Nice to be able to dig down into things with the other ladies. I love it that some of the people have been going to the same church for like 50 years and married just as long or longer. Specially when so may of the relationships dont make it because we buy into "happiness" being the greatest value to have, you know? Selfishness in disguise.

- Heck ya. Glad I can help. I feel the same way since reading Milan's book. All of life really sits on relationships, business, personal ect. And I've noticed from my own life how ganked my life is when I haven't been able or willing to connect well.
