Dear friend, Please know that most of us do understand that life is very difficult and sometimes appears to take and need more from us than we think we have to offer. However, at my lowest ebb, I have discovered that there is a tomorrow, this too shall pass and things do and can get better. These are not empty words. Please know that I'm not trying to take away from the legitimacy of your pain and sorrow - I know they are real or you would not be contemplating ending the pain. But I agree with the suggestion to reach out to ONE person. Let just one person know that you are hurting and you need some love and support right now. My bed has often been a place of refuge for me as well. A warm comforter and my special "soft" pillow and it doesn't hurt to have my dog curled at my side. If there isn't anything on t.v. that can help you focus on something light, then pop in a video that will allow you to place your thoughts somewhere besides the here and now. And if you are a person of faith, please read the Psalms and know they were written for you. I'm going to be holding you close to my heart in prayer. Pleae be well.
((((((hugs))))))
