I am facing so many hurdles right now. I can almost feel new gray hairs coming out as I write this. Well, first of all, my husband's maternal grandfather is really sick. He has heart problems and now they also found out that he might have emphysema (I think I spelled that right). I know all about it, my husband doesn't and doesn't want to know the details. My oldest son (he's 16) wanted to know what was going on so I told him and now he's just depressed and sick. I can understand why my husband doesn't want to know since he's really close to grandpa & all it would make him too worried to function at work & all so that would make sense to me. But now I live with the worrying 24/7 since we live down the hill from grandpa but we work pretty far away so we aren't around alot of the time and I can't talk to my husband about how I feel either cause I don't want him to get upset. Then, my husband's sister is a full blown crack addict now. It's so bad that our kids asked what happened to her cause she lost so much weight! She totally denies it though. She has 3 children but at the moment we have 2 of the 3 (12 yr old boy & 1 yr old girl) and the other one is with her ex-husband. I am very stressed out & would appreciate some prayers and/or guidance. Thank you

It sounds like things are really rough. I am sure your husband knows it is serious and is having trouble handling it. Give him just a little bit and maybe he will open up. That is how my husband is. We will pray for you.

I'm so sorry about the difficult situations you're in right now. Just find positive energy in every bit of blessings you receive along the way--be appreciative about them and you'll know, there are still others out there who have greater problems than you have. Don't lose hope because God is always there looking after you and your familyAlso find strength from your loved ones and NEVER cease to pray!
