My hardest situation came two years ago. I was 36 weeks pregnant and my midwife found I had high blood pressure and a trace of protein. She was worried about me so sent me for testing at the hospital. I turned out to be fine but an ultrasound scan told them that my baby had spina bifida. A midwife broke the news to me that was incredibly upsetting. The next day I had to visit the fetal medicine unit, the maternity unit and the special care baby unit. It was one of the worst days of my life. A few days later I had to go to a different hospital to meet with a surgeon. He said my baby's head might grow too big to be born in the natural way. The next three weeks were very worrying but I did get a home birth and it went really well. Now my son is two years old all that is a distant memory. I have since my dear little son was born I been able to concentrate on being happy.

We should remember one thing what already happened we can't do anything ,what will happen next we have no hold on this coming things so why to worry ,we should live life in present and try to be happy as much as we can ,i know it is some times difficult because we are ordinary human being . I have faced many worst situation in life even now also i'm facing ,but what to do i'm digesting everything ,we can't help this is our destiny.

Even if we live in such a harsh life, shouldn't we have some time to enjoy life, even it is just a little joy. That what I meant. Each problem solved, make us more mature and next time similar problem occur, we know what to do. lol. Thanks seoexpert

Whenever I am in a hard situation that seems like there's no way out, I always remind myself, 'everything will be over soon, this is just a phase of obstacles in life, just keep on moving forward' It will motivate me to get through the hardship while figure out the solution. I also talk to someone else on how to settle it, it always help to get another piece of opinion.

It is hard to enjoy life when things are going good at times for some people so to enjoy life when they are bad can be impossible. When my grandmother passed away, someone I was very close to, admired a great deal, it was a very difficult time for me. I remember when I got the call, it was from my brother and I was in Wisconsin at a trade show. I had to fly home to Mississippi. I called my fiance and had him make the arrangement I packed up my things and left right away to drive the fiver hours to Chicago. That night my fiance took me to our favorite reastraunt and had some friends met us to get my mind off things. One of my closest friends thought that it would do me good, she also thought it would do me some good to talk about her and to talk about some of the special memories I had of her. I laughed so hard that night, remembering some of the things we did, It was such a healing experience. The next day was a different story. I flew out first thing that morning and had a lay over that lasted for two hours. I never took off my sunglasses. My wonderful fiance was nice enough to book me first class the entire way so at least I had great seats and the stewardess left me alone, other than bringing me cokes as she saw I was running out. No one was sitting beside me. My hard time that morning was during the lay over, someone would not stop trying to chat with me. I finally smiled at her and said that I understood she was excited about her trip but that I really wanted to be alone. She got all mad at me and left, thank goodness. I was hurting and needed some time for me. MY brother picked up me, when he met me at the terminal he had a drink for me. I drank from the airport to my grandmothers house, we laughed, cried and laughed some more over the next several days as we remembered this great woman.

Thanks for sharing meandmy3. I am sure your grandma is in a great place now. You laughed remembering all the funny things happened when your grandma was around eand cried to realize she will no longer be in front of you. All the person that we love will always be remembered even though they passed away.

I always try to think of happier times in my life when I am going through a rough patch in my life. I think back to my daughter being born and both times I find out I was pregnant and when I got engaged, the happiest moments of my life!!

Sometimes our problem can be severe where we feel running away is the best choice. Somehow we need the time to think and analyze the problem. That's when we wanted to be alone and kept in silent.

I stop and smell the roses. I keep in my mind that it can always get worse, and I just try to enjoy the little things. The smile on my kids faces, the fact that my husband comes home after work.

Roses smell are nice indeed. I do keep in mind that things can get worse too. So when that does happen I would be mentally ready to face it. Of course it could be disappointing but somehow problems can help you grow up and mature. Just try not to do the same mistake again. Thanks imajerseygirl. Happy lotting!

Surrounding yourself with family and helpful friends. Sing, paint, help others. whatever makes you feel better. drink a little..

Surrounding myself with family member will not work for me. My relationship with my siblings and parent, there are not much fun in it. Its just formal matter in in my family. I like to breakfree with my friends and my love one who knows how to have fun.
