There is pain all around me,
Physical and agonizing pain,
For this, I ask the Lord,
To take me someday,
Peacefully and softly,
Knowing I will be in
a better place.
Tho’ I fear not seeing my
earthly loved ones,
Their love surrounding me,
I hold dear to my heart within,
For all eternity.
Research into the essence of the soul!
Adulting tips, figuring out life, learning all the things we don't learn in school etc.

Do not give up hope. I do so understand. I’m ready to go too. Lupus is winning, but always flight back. Our faith does help us know we will go on.

Thanks for the feedback, Deborah. Some days, I feel I’m just existing, not really living. I hope you can be relieved of pain and God heals you. I keep faith in my heart but it is hard these days.

We are on parallel paths at this time. The Lupus has attacked both my heart and lungs, creating an obstruction of inflammation. I can’t breathe, talk, walk, think, but I invite you to look at my last 4 posts, especially today’s — “Dandelions”. I went to a Spiritual Silent Retreat (first time ever!) and received verse and messages channeled through me. Let us reach across the miles and take hands, giving strength to each other, my young friend.

I’m sorry. I understand pain – daily pain – pain you wake with and pain you sleep with. We put on a face to the world and to everyone who knows us they think we are okay, and the strangers we meet can’t tell. They say, “You are looking really good.” We can’t get into it and they really don’t want to know. Looks are deceiving. I know, some days we can push through it – suck it up – and try to create value. some days we can’t. Thank goodness for my computer! There are things I try to make more important than me. I write the blog for Jamie Cummings, and now I write a book for him as well so he can survive later. I try to remember this – the only legacy we can leave behind is the effect we have had on other people. How we help them change their negatives to positives. I try to have a good effect on those around me and set an example that they to can create value when they are too tired to keep trying. Then what they learn they, too, pass on to people in their life. I don’t have lupus, but I do have several friends that are having a hard time with it. Mine comes from something else. I wish you happiness, because when we are in the life condition of hell we can still find happiness in the smallest of things.

Thank you so much for your lengthy feedback. I enjoy reading responses. I don’t have Lupus, I have a cousin autoimmune illness called LEMS Disease. It is similar to Lupus but contracted differently. Even family members do not understand fully as they don’t deal with it on a daily basis. My family tells me to get out more, however, often it is taxing and fatiguing. I have to choose my physical activities wisely as they take effort these days. Others tell me I look medically fine on the outside but not the case on the inside. I write primarily for my illness too. It is a form of therapy for me. I appreciate your words. I understand completely as I have been there the last four or five years. I too wish you happiness and healing. Somehow we find growth through our experiences. This has humbled me and I find life so fragile now. Thanks again for replying. Anne

It must have been one of your responses from someone else who had the lupus. I have Hep c – went through ascities, cirrhosis, liver cancer and transplant that caused all kinds of extenuating health issues that would fill a whole sheet. But I’m alive! and I shouldn’t be. So I try to make every day count. The more you give, the more you get back. I did go to Amazon and read the free sample of the book with the woman holding the child’s hand. I have to look it up through my Nook which has a kindle app to get it. I like to lay in bed and read at night in the dark since it’s back lit. You self published, right? Did you use a particular company or service? I’ve been looking through some trying to find the right one for when I’m ready. So far I have ten chapters done or partially done so I have a ways to go, but I know you have to take care of business while you write. Did you have someone help with editing?

We all bear different types of pains at different times in our lives. I think by sharing it, the burden lessens somewhat. To everyone undergoing some painful moments right now, keep fighting, no matter whether there is a future in the fight or not. Being able to fight is a win already.

Sonniq, There is a friend that has Lupus. Actually, I know a couple of people with it personally. I’m sorry for your illness. Through perseverance, may you find strength and courage to face each day. As you said, you are alive and that is the most important factor right now. As far as publisher, I do “self-publish” through Author Solutions and usually I do my own editing. I did have someone experienced in editing and I trusted look at the beginning of my newest story when I started writing manuscript to help me get “unstuck.” So far, I have 25 chapters, not including Prologue and Conclusion. I hope that helps, even in a little way. Anne 🙂

Beautiful poetry! I have very dear friends that suffer with fibromyalgia and each day is a struggle. They have to cancel lunch dates, and some days are unable to get out of bed. I struggle with physical pain as well, but not to that extent. Pain, whether physical or emotional, can be debilitating. I look forward to reading more of your poetry, and thank you for following my blog.
