"Sorry, things are not going well for you.  The times we are living in are very hard indeed.  If it's not health issues, it's money issues, or family problems - there's alot of negative things out there.  I've found alot of comfort from reading a book that is very old, but very appropriate for our day.  It has listed so many different situations of peoples lives and hard times they have gone through with very little materially.  People who have lost EVERYTHING and whose lives were rewarded in the end.  People who have become very, very sick - but remained hopeful and never gave up in their struggle.  It's given me a hope for the future with beautiful words of encouragement - It's the Bible.  Here are a few scriptures you can read that are very encouraging to me:  Rev. 21:4 - Ps. 37:10,11,29.   And another thing is just having communication with people who may not completely understand what you are going through but who try to understand and try to give you comfort.  I've found that in my religious circle of friends.  And, I think also having this forum has been beneficial to me to see that I'm not alone in this journey that I seem to have to take - even if it is against my wishes. "
