The struggle

The struggle

All of a sudden
I feel really afraid
I'm not sure i can cope
How strong was I made?
To suffer this horrible illness
Such an awful way to go
Takes you piece by piece
Leaving your dignity oh so low
All at once it seem so real,
until now I had some hope
But fear has somehow appeared
and I don't think I will cope
How can i regain my positive attitude?
my fight, my determination!
it's like I've nothing left to prove
If I've got worse to come
and I'm not coping now
Where do I find the guts to fight?
Summon up more strength, but how?
Added to that, i feel so guilty
dragging you on this journey with me
What have I done? What have I put you through?
i behaved so selfishly
What is the answer? What can i do?
How would you deal with this?
if it were happening to you

Be strong for those you love and who love you...the many that do will always be there for you. I take strength from this piece, I think it is a very brave and raw piece of writing.

Thank you, I have my ups and downs. Like you say just one of those Sunday mornings. Too much time to think I suppose.

Mandy, .Very heartfelt piece.  When I was sick and nobody thought I'd make it.  I took comfort in God and just prayed and prayed!  Love, Terry Kay

thank you for your lovely words, I find I pray more now, mainly for strength to cope, as I fear there's no cure in the foreseeable future for Parkinson's. But you never know x
