[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 542396, member: 13882"] Pepperidge, One mantra that helps me get through difficult times is, "This too shall pass." It puts things in perspective, that this is happening to me at this point in time, and I will get through it with patience. Many times, hospitals offer chaplain support and room visits, etc. I'd take them up on that, and speak with someone there if you're comfortable. I know that's a calling and a vocation, and they're grateful to sit with you and chat if you like. There's also a cute line from a movie out in theatres now called [I]The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel[/I], where the young guy who is the proprietor of a somewhat shabby hotel in India has to manage the deflated expectations of visitors who booked their reservations there based on beautiful but somewhat misleading promises in their brochures. He tells the guests, "Everything will be allright in the end. So if it isn't allright, then it isn't the end." [/QUOTE]
