What Has Been Your Worst Year & Why

What has been the hardest thing in your life that you have had to deal with so far that made it the worst year ever ? Health / relationship issues etc ?

 

1994. I was 15 years old. My Mom, Grandma, Uncle, Great Uncle and dads best friend all died that year. That sucks shit for a 15 year old girl. The next 3 years were a horrible nightmare. It's a miracle I'm not in prison right now but I won't get into that.

 

It takes a strong person to get through all of that.

 

1997 when I had to face the indignity of moving back home with my parents after serving in the military for 4 years. Yes I was still in the reserves, and yes I was attending college, but after 4 years of independence I was briefly under their yolk once again

Hotwater

 

About 5 years ago I went thru depression, body fatigue, stress, & exhaustion & had a huge lack of energy. I had no choice but to give up my job as it had caused most of the problems I came down with very suddenly. I also had to deal with loosing 3 generations of my family within the next 12 months. That was the worst 12 months in my life.

 

My worst year (or so it seemed) turned out to be one of my best years. I divorced my exwife. Toughest thing I've ever had to deal with in my adult life. Best thing that ever happened to me.

 

Thank you. That means a lot coming from you...you are the only person here that knows what those 3 years were like for me.

 

late 2009 till mid 2010. joined the military, fucking dumbest thing i ever did. dont do it people!!

 

I did that in 1993. But I managed to get myself kicked out on purpose and they even gave me an honorable discharge. Enlisting was one of the dumbest thing I ever did. Not because I couldn't handle the physical side of it....I easily could. I'm just not very good with authority. My parents tried to warn me.

 

dude, same exact story, i kept on getting into trouble i got alot of paperwork written up on me lol, i hate authority. and i made it out with an honorable

 

A long time ago, my mom and my sister died in the same year, unrelated causes.

 

House fire... 12/28/12 Killed my dog and 6 kitties, lost all my stuff... Earlier that year in Feb. my other dog passed away... Mid summer 2012 one of my pet birds passed. 2012 was rough... 2013 was a continuation of sorts dealing with the mess. Never get over this shit, you just bury it for awhile.

 

Mine was the Christmas before last, hubby was sick and suddenly told he had three weeks to live. I cared for him at home through all of his palative care so he would see me dosing his drugs and helping him bath and all else he needed instead of nurses coming and going so all they did was make sure I had the drugs I needed and my injection sites were ok a couple times a week, and he lived two of those weeks peacefully where he wanted to.
The images of him passing still plague my mind but I am getting my shit in gear and moving on. He wanted me to do that. The advice I got from friends and relatives was my own years before to someone else, go out and do things he and you didnt do together and find someone who loves you again. (I am sooo not a loner)
I was struggling with missing him and being suddenly alone. I finally have moved on and have a fairly new relationship happening and I am happy but when I write something like this or think about him too much or talk about him I still cry a little. Ok a lot like now.
I am a young widow and there is no shock worse that I can imagine. I managed to hire someone to take over our business needs so I could care for him and take the time I needed to work out my own issues after and it took me a long time to come out of the house alone. Now I can do it but only because I have good friends to go to and a new BF who cares about me and even about my issues and his patience shows ten fold.
First thing I told him a few months back is, "I am a widow, I have issues you probably dont want to deal with, run, run fast, leave me before I leave you!" He said he wouldnt run and he didnt run, he has done things for me and my business I never asked for just to make my life easier and as far as our actual relationship together he has let me run the course with him close behind. He wouldnt even tell me for a while that prit near at first sight he was falling in love with me because he was afraid it would scare me and make me run off.
He has had a few relationships turn nasty and he knows the hurt and he tells me several times a day he misses me when he is not here. It went faster then I had planned, (I thought I would date someone casually for about a year first) I kinda steped onto the right toes when I met him I guess and he lets me step on them often even tho neither one of us is into dancing much. A cool guy with hopes he found someone he can love and not get hurt. I hope for the same. He gives me reason to trust him in every way.
I Will never forget my hubby but I have to move on and I am. Hardest thing to do but I will do it and my friends say I have done well in the past few months, even said I am finally looking healthier.

 

+rep......Beautiful Post, I Wish You Well For The Future Years...



Cheers Glen.

 

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel. Was just a freight train coming your way..

 

Briefly Step Off The Tracks And Let It Pass By, Then Continue

On With Life...



Cheers Glen.

 

Thanks Glen, I see the lights at the other end of the tunnel now and yes that train might have smashed right into me but I got up again. I still wish many days that it didnt happen but they say most things happen for a good reason, havent found it yet but maybe some day I will. Mean while we have to make our life what we want it to be so we stroll along. I wish for everyone else a bright future as well.
