September 3, 2016 at 12:37 pmMy mom passed away from cancer two years ago. We found out she had cancer on a Sunday and she passed away the following Sunday. I’m 27 years old and seeing her die so quickly has made me fearful of death and questioning when my time will be so much so I have developed depression and anxiety. I don’t want to get out of bed and struggle with being in public places. Reading with you guys on the devotional that Brian did this morning (Sep. 3) has really helped me realize that God doesn’t want us to live in fear. I’m actively seeking help in this area by going to a recovery group where I live and seeking medical help but I know that prayers are the most powerful and would love for this community to pray for me. This is my first time writing on this wall but looking through posts I see there are a lot of requests and will start praying for you all as well. So glad to be apart of a community like this. Much love!

September 4, 2016 at 1:47 pmI’m praying for you and I hope you feel the peace of Jesus Christ. My friend has been through a lot as well. He lost both his parents to pancreatic cancer in the past 4 years. He lost them both being a year and a half a part with his dad passing first and then his mom. I have tried my best to let God work through me as the body of Christ to him as Jesus love, peace, and comfort surrounds him. I hope that you can find that same peace, comfort, and love for yourself despite the difficult circumstances you are going through. My email is jdblaze615@yahoo.com if you want to talk further. God bless and I am praying for you. My name is John by the way.

September 4, 2016 at 2:26 pmParis, my name is Kelly. I am the person John was referring to. About four years ago in October 2012, my parents were simultaneously diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I was 28 at that time and needless to say my entire world was rocked forever. A little more background about me: I was born three months premature weighing 1 pound 5 ounces and developed an eye disease that detached my left retina. I have gone through learning disabilities and now what I believe to anxiety since my youth. I didn’t open to my parents as I should’ve with a lot of things out of fear, pride, shame, etc., about my burdens from within and without.
Ironically my parents wrote me a letter during that October while I was at bible college and they wanted me to tell them how I really felt physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and monetarily. They were going to write me short messages monthly, Godly messages to help encourage me. A week later both of them would be diagnosed so my plans took a backseat and John and I returned to Cincinnati so I could ride out the journey with my parents, come what may.
However, I couldn’t open up to them at all or much because their illnesses took precedent. My parent’s faith in the Lord never waivered, but in staying silent about my issues from within it all cost me and I’m paying for it dearly now. My mom has been gone since May of 2014, but it was when she died that the full brunt of all issues from life finally hit me. My support system isn’t the best and with me not being able to drive it only adds to the depression, isolation, and anxiety I just feel about life. These things have changed me. I don’t laugh like I used to or smile. I constantly think about my mortality and it’s just the pits. I am trying to continue persevering as my folks were proud of me of throughout my life. I’m sorry for the long response, but I want you to know you are not alone in your struggles. There are so many of us going through similar journeys. You expressing yourself via this forum helps others like me.. Thank you for being so brave and enduring this unwanted journey. If you need anything or have questions please feel free to contact me at kelly.mitchell02@yahoo.com I am praying for your peace, comfort, and joy. We can do this and we will through the Lord and others he provides to us and for us.

September 5, 2016 at 2:03 pmPraying for you Paris that God will provide the strength, the comfort and the guidance you need to live your best life. The hardest part is to trust in the Lord. I’ve tried to fix my problems myself many times. When I hit bottom and run out of options I have to trust God. He always comes through. Be patient and wait in the Lord. Much love and prayers for you.
