My mom just found out she has cancer and I’m 1800 miles away. Sad lonely. My husband is gone working out of town and we don’t talk much. I think my depression has gotten to be to much for him. Tired and lonely. I just want to stuff my face and sleep.

I recently found out that my father has stage 3 lung cancer at the same time I was separated from my spouse. So I can relate. I work in oncology and I’ve seen people with the same diagnosis as my father so I know what is coming and I know it’s not the best scenario. It has been pretty challenging not letting myself get back into the dark hole of depression and drinking that I was in for the last few years. I started therapy a few months ago and honestly it’s been a huge help to have someone unbiased guide me and give me tools to help me not go back to being so depressed. Hope you are able to find some peace with your situation! I’m certainly available to chat if you are in need.

My father just died of cancer. It sucks for sure. Feeling all the feelings even after 18 years is still a tough sell. We are drunks and more resilient than normies. Be kind to yourself!
Go ahead and eat & sleep.
But just don’t drink/use no matter what!

May God help you through this difficult time to find the peace and support that is available in these rooms and the recovery family. I know the kind of emotional upheaval that the loss of a parent and spouse can bring and yet Gods draws near to those in need. May you always be aware of His mercy and love.
