My girlfriend has had a succession of bad events happen to her this year. First she lost her job, then she needed surgery to remove a large fibroid, now she’s back in hospital again being operated on for an ovarian cyst combined with aggressive endometriosis. It’s been a very painful few months for her, both physically and mentally.
She also finds it difficult to cope, not that it’s too surprising in these circumstances. When something bad happens to me, I can easily distract myself, whether it be reading or writing or surfing the net or whatever. With her, it becomes a kind of obsession. The bad thoughts roll around in her mind until it is the only thing she can think about or talk about. I have told her that she needs to learn to let go sometimes, but it’s lost in the fog of worry.
I wish I could help her more in such situations. She has a long road to climb now. She will be incapacitated for weeks. The pain she is going through is not deserved, but that’s life I guess. We have to soldier on sometimes.
If you are reading, send her your best wishes.
My prayers are with her, she would get through this, plz stay by her side through these trying times.
I’m in constant contact with her, and I am pleased to say she is making a fast recovery.
Thanks so much for your message.
