Okay, so this is a small giveaway to the first ten people who respond here.

Now for the backstory:
Last February, my life turned upside down in the most horrific way. I was eating my lunch and my mom called which wasn't unusual, we had a close relationship. Little did I know, this would be the last time that I ever spoke with my mom. I chatted and then asked her for a little favor.
She said goodbye and I love you; and as I was hanging up I heard a male voice saying something obscene but I dismissed it due to the area she lived in.
That night I hadn't heard from her, so I figured maybe she was at chorus practice, or something and to wait till morning. Morning came and no response, so I fathomed she forgot to charge her phone. Hours passed and still no reply. I started to worry. I couldn't eat. I called her apartment to have them check on her, called local hospitals. It was then upon coming home from running errands that I got the horrible phone call. Sorry, tears welling up as I write this as it is hard but I need to tell my story in hopes that anyone who is going through this, you get help quickly, don't wait till it's to late. Getting back to the story, I answered the phone hoping it was mom or the apartment place, but sadly, it was a detective telling me that my mom had been murdered. Shot to death. I cannot tell you how that made my heart break, it's still breaking in two to this day.
Fast forward to June, when I met Cynnagirl in person (my real life best friend). My husband and Family were on a much needed break from everything, but yet, Husband was feeling off.
We'd pass the Fourth of July when the next day, he fainted in the shower. I told him, "We're going to the hospital". Thinking that it was probably just H-pylori or a bleeding ulcer, We went to the ER, thinking, that it was not anything majorly bad, like I mentioned Maybe a bleeding Ulcer. But, that was not the case. They ordered a Endoscope for the next day on him and admitted him to the hospital. I was like thinking Oh, it's probably because you been having blood in your stools, so maybe it's a precaution.
The next day, the test results came back and the news that shook me to the core, Cancer.
My husband has stage 4 stomach cancer. I have been trying to provide for my family on my salary. It's not been easy. Lots of heartache, lots of tears, lots of going to foodbanks, go fund me's, finding out my true friends, and learning who I can and cannot trust.
Sadly, I am not the same person I was two years ago, I am not even the same person I was 1 year ago.
writing all this, I am in tears, because I would give anything to have my old life back. Or a hug.

Edited to add, the cat Debra in game, is a trbute to my mom, designed by me.

So sorry to hear all you've been going through love! Its horrific. I will never understand why human beings can do something like this to each other. Praying for your husband and your family too....

I am glad you had Cynna in your corner. She is awesome. I was at her place for a few days last year too and just seeing her is a blessing.

Sending you the biggest hug :heart:

I knew of some illness and about your mom which was devestating to hear. I really know how you felt when were told stage 4 cancer as it happened to me as my husband fought cancer but lost his battle,I joined a bereavment group mostly listening to others and their feelings,it took weeks to be able to say a few words as my heart just kept getting broken.

It never ends this grieving and like you I wish to go back to when things were better,when I lost my daughter it broke my heart and then when my husband died my heart shattered-everything is not as it use to be and I fine myself wanting time to go back to when it was nice and I had no worries and how I miss them so much.

It is this month that both passed away 2 days apart but not the same year. So I think of them often and I still cry and hurt but live on with memories that come to me from time to time. My other daughter has heart disease calcium build up of her aortic valve which means open heart surgery when it gets worse and as a mom I worry but drs say she has youth on her side so this is a good thing.

I myself have had heart issues had surgeries and this month in little over a week I go back to another city where dr on cardiac team have to go back inside my heart. I deal with life differently now and strange how I learned things from my daughter who is in heaven. she was kind never yelled nor swore ( ok im working this part) soft spoken humble and I try to be like this-my husband was the same way. Oh what I would give for one more day even an hour to have them back,the tears never end and I always wondered how on earth do we have so many tears but we do.

I am sorry for all that you have gone through but you are not alone some really do understand. Not the murder part but the passing of those so dear to us.

I am only angered by the fact that I had pictures of our family and single ones of my daughter on the boards that were wiped out and people did some wonderful art for me DIA was one of those people who I could count on to make me things for my rooms and I won some contests of her work and she never said no if I asked for her help and never charged anything and was always there if I needed something.
So with this month being my daughter and husbands passing it felt like my heart got broken again with them being wiped away in an instant.

I do pray for you each evening-have for a long long time as well as others who experienced a passing or needed a prayer-I believe so I do this and I pray that God will comfort you and help you with whatever you need help with and I am so sorry for things that you are dealing with.
big hugs to you :hug:

First of all, it is not necessary to give a gift, we want to accompany you in every difficult moment.
There are moments in life that overcome us in a way, that it seems that we are not going to resist, but for some reason, God does not shake his hand and gives us that push that we need to see life a little more positive.
In some way, feel accompanied, I think most of us have or have to go through unimaginable situations, and it is always good to find that word of encouragement that tells us... you are not alone!
I send you a lot of strength, and it is good that you know that perhaps here there is a little corner of people willing to encourage you!
:heart: :heart: :heart:

So very sorry to hear this. I cannot imagine how you must feel. Such a tragic and difficult time for you.
Sending lots of love your way! It's incredibly strong and brave of you to share your story on here.
I know I can't really do or say anything to help but I will be thinking of you.
I think the Debra cat is a beautiful tribute :heart:

You had shared parts of your story, but I didn't realize the full scope of things. My heart is breaking for you. To have to endure the loss of your mother in such a sudden and traumatic way is more than anyone should have to bear. I can only imagine how difficult coping with your husband's illness and suddenly dealing with the stress of being solely responsible for your family financially is on you. It's no wonder this has changed you as a person.

I wish you could go back to happier time. I wish you didn't have to deal with all this heartache and stress. From what I have known about you on the forums, you are such a sweet, caring and generous person. My heart is breaking for you. Life is not fair. I'm not much the praying type, but I am hoping you can find some peace and comfort and good news in near future.

I'm so sorry. You have been through so much in the last couple of years. It was probably good that you took a break and we're so glad that you're back. I don't need any gifts from you, but if ever want to visit me in Yo or take one of my tours you are very welcome to. I am YOLIVIAbenson in the game.

Angelic Rose,
Gosh reading your story brought me to hears. So sorry to hear all of this.
I'm so sorry to hear this news and about your hubby & the loss of your mom :( that's truly heart-breaking. I truly hope wish there was something I could say or do to heal your pain. However, this year hasn't been my best year either. I was in an unfortunate car accident earlier in the year and almost lost my life. My car got written off...so lost the car. And then last month I lost my dad. :wailing: :heartbroken: I loved him so much..so it's been one heartbreak after another :heartbroken:...so I definitely feel your pain and pray for you and your family during this difficult time.
Take best care of you.
:heart: :heart: :rose:

I know this story. It's my story as well.
Watching my mom struggle financially. Seeing my dad so sick sometimes that he can't even eat. I know the pain my mom feels, like she's a failure because my brother is rebelling and doing things that hurt her deeply; only because he too is hurting inside.
Losing my grandma was the hardest thing I had to go through. I loved her so much and she was there since the day I was born. She was everything to me and my mom.
I am mad. So mad at my Step-uncle for taking my grandma's life.
I am mad that my own uncle refuses to help my mom.
I am mad that we are going to live in a hotel because my mom can't afford to pay the rent despite working so hard to provide for us.
I am angry that cancer decided to mess with my family.
I just want to see my mom smile again, and not the fake ones, but a genuine one. I want to see a real smile and hear her laugh again, not her crying into her pillow at night when she thinks we can't hear her.
