• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Tom, Broken, and Jo:

Thank you so much! I made it through the day...and through the first year without Mom. That seems like a big accomplishment. When she was sick (and even before she got sick)...I could not imagine myself living without her.

Thank You, Lord, for being by my side. Thank You for Your love and support. Life seems very confusing right now, but I trust You. Please guide me down the best path, whatever that is. Help me to be obedient and to keep the faith. I love You.

:hug::hug: My sister posted this for me the other night and I'd like to share it with you. My mom passed away in March of 1986 and there are still so many times when I wish I could feel her arms around me and hear her say I love you and everythings going to be ok. Our Lord has carried me through many storms and He will carry you too :hug::hug:

I so totally understand. My mom died a little over a year ago, and when she did, it felt like my daddy died all over again....Daddy died in July 2007 and Mom Oct. 2009. I know where they are, Praise the Lord.....I just miss them. Age of a loved one has nothing to do with how much you miss them. "Oh, rejoice in the fact they lived a full and fruitful life." That is true enough. My daddy was 95 years old and my mom 85. Some days are easier than others. The missing never goes away, and that is not a bad thing.....just not allowing to consume me. Shalom:)
