Re: [MOL] Carla



Girl, I tell you, you better get busy and start a two way communication, I know how hard it is; but also how important.  Talk in bed with the lights out, promise not to interrupt each other, to answer each other as honestly as you can and to take turns on the questions.  If you were his rock, you must slowly start teaching him to stand on his own.  Talk it all out, cry it all out, take the action the two of you descide on and then both of you get into somethings you both enjoy doing; so that will eventually take up the conversations.  I see you have  trouble sleeping at night along with some others.  Is that all part of the game?  I am so tired when I go to bed and as soon as I lay my head down, close my  eyes, they pop back open and I can't sleep.  This bothers my husband alot, I keep assuring him that I think its natural; but why I don't know.  Oh yes, I took a good tumble, usuraly I fall rather gracefully; but not this time, it was fast and hard.  No bones broken and thats all that matters.  My blood preasure has gone crazy again; so I'll have to give doc. a call tomorrow. Could I have your e-mail address?   Tell me this Carla, now that you don't have your business and are no longer a council member or on the planning board, did you find out who your friends really are?  I worked for the City, Dept. Head, worked with thousands of people who all wanted something from me, when I took ill, they were nowhere to be found,; but I did find out I had four great real friends.  Hard lessons huh?  Emagine a has been at 50.  What is this march I am reading about?  Take care of the two of you.Lillian

Subject: [MOL] Lillian to Ervin

Lillian, did you really fall today?  Are you ok?  I read your message to Ervin and I want you to know that it was a great outreach.  I really understand what you were saying.  I don't say much to my husband anymore and I know that he doesn't know what to say to me.  He already knows that I don't want to die and that there has been alot of fear associated with that  VERY LARGE FEELING!  He has been sick since the week after I had surgery and I know that it is him trying to deal with my illness.  Since I am usually the comforter and rock, I know he is going through some tough times trying to deal with it all.  I don't really know what to do to make it any better for him.  Naturally, because he is here, if I need to snap....it is at him.  Thats why I threw the surprise Birthday party for him Saturday.... He needed the break from my cancering and it did him alot of good.  We are going in to see our Pastor for some help with this... it is hard.  I know your message was a wonderful outreach for Ervin, but it touched on me too, so I wanted to let you know.  Thanks Lillian.... sometimes it takes someone else to show us our own thoughts and emotions...      Love you!.....Carla
