• 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.

  • 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.

My great grandmother is now on morphine and expected to pass soon. I could use prayer for her, me and our family. It is hitting me harder than I thought it would. I debated posting it in here as I posted prayer requests on CF already but can't hold it in anymore.

My family has not seen her yet as it is too hard. I am not sure if we will or how this is going to go.

I also am on and off having a hard time praying. It is hard for me to admit sometimes because I usually love prayer. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't.

Thanks so much.

Love,
Cally

My folks went to visit but left earlier when I was asleep so I did not make it. If they go again I would like to go. She is still on morphine and also has just developed pneumonia. I am surprised she is still holding on and I know it is the Lord. Every time the phone rings I expect to hear she has passed.

I have more peace about it for now. Sometimes I cry and sometimes I have peace.

Thanks so much for your prayers.

Thank you. She is still hanging on but has said she wants to go home. I have prayed if God's plan I can see her one time before she goes so I can hold her hand and tell her I love her. If not, it just wasn't in God's plan.

Praying. *hugs*
