Seems sometimes you can not get up--something or someone is always there to knock you down. My health has declined, not a big suprise to me. My Mom's gotten worse. And now the kick in the head. My hubby will be losing his job. No insurance, something many of those on TDK understand. I don't even make enough in a month to pay the house note. I know they are just things and many here have gone through loss and have survived. I thought we finally were settled and ready to just live in peace. In the end it is just things and that means little. Just seems we have worked so hard for so long. So hard and it was all for nothing. Probably feeling a bit sorry for myself and that will not help either, but it is where I am at now.

Oh no!! This is awful, SM. :(
I'm sorry this is happening to your family. So many families have been impacted by this recession. You and your family are in my prayers. You have worked very hard. It has NOT been for nothing. You've made a life together and raise a wonderful young woman. You have so much to be proud of. What you also have is the grit and wisdom to work on a solution to this set back. I have great faith in you, SM!Posted 1 year ago by Kitten Whisperer #

SM - I know exactly where you are - our youngest is in college and our oldest has moved back home and has been here for almost 1 + 1/2 years ( John & Lela) and it is hard to see ahead, but I truly believe God does not give us more than we can handle. I will be praying for you and your family. Richard and I have been through so much and it only brings us closer and I know it will be the same for you and Mr. SM, and for your daughter - both of our sons have said they have been lucky to see the way we handle things. It is a lesson on how to handle life. Many prayers for you.

SM, so sorry to hear about your husband losing his job, was he on contract? He is retired military isn't he, did you opt for the Tri-Prime military health? They are slow most times but its a little health insurance at best. I know its hard to think of, just one day at a time. Many prayers for you and the family {{{hugs}}}

Oh Liz i am sorry to hear this. I know there really isn't anything I can say that will help or make a difference. You are such a source of strength and and enouragement to me and the whole TDK family. I know you have a very strong faith and lean on that faith now. Someone once told me "God doesn't save you from drowning just to beat you up on the shore." May you turn to Him now for comfort, strength and what to do next.

SM, I send you prayers and hugs to help you and your husband get through this. I know that when I am feeling at my lowest, I pet my cats and tell them how much I love them and am glad that they live with me. Sometimes I have a good cry and that seems to rid my body of the bad feelings. Then I pull myself together and think of all the positive things and family that I love. Then I ask God to get me through this and make me strong enough to deal with whatever the problem was.
You are a strong and wonderful person. Gather all the love and strength from the TDK'ers who love you and will comfort you whenever you need it.Posted 1 year ago by LadyKat of IA #

Thank you all. I know we will get through it one way or another. I put my car up for sale. I suggested the house needs to go as well. The biggest problem will of course be the animals. Hard to find an apartments that will allow pets. Hubby will do what hundreds of thousands are doing--start looking for a job.
Deb the only insurance we have is the tricare prime. With no job he has no way to pay the premiums. My income covers the car payments and my college tuition. If I don't finish my Masters I lose my job.
The worst part is the fear. The fear of not being able to care for my daughter medically. I was supossed to put her through college and I failed that. She needs to have dental work and that coverage will be gone. My pets, if I can't provide what happens to them? Rehoming them will kill me. I am not the first or the last to have this happen. Funny thing is losing my home makes me sad, but the agony started when I realized that meant I'd have no home for my animals.

SM, I am SO sorry to hear this. I know some of the fear you are talking about, my husband was out of work for 9 months, but we were luckier than most. I wish I had words to comfort you, I can only send powerful prayers for you and your situation and lots of HUGS!!!!!!!! Please take care of yourself!!!!!!!! {{{{{{SM}}}}}}

Soxsmom, the first thing you need to do is to apply for help with your house so that you don't have to worry about that. Go to www.makinghomeaffordable.gov and see if you qualify for lowered payments due to job loss. It is better for the banks to work with you through this than to have another foreclosure on their hands. I am about to do this myself. Many hugs to you.

((SM)) I totally understand your agony about the animals...don't you worry, you have a whole family of animal lovers behind you and we will try our best to find them homes if that is the case. We love you and your fur babies...try not to worry yet...hopefully your situation is short and temporary and you and your family will be okay. We love you SM!!

((((((SM))))))) You have been through a lot since I've known you. I think that you are a strong woman but I know it sure gets tough to hang on. And I would be heartbroken if I thought I might have to re home my fur babies. I will keep you in my prayers

SM, I am only just now finding this thread and I am so devastated for you. Right now I think that all looks bleak and it's hard to know if there could be hope. But with your husband being retired military, I am thinking that there might be more resources available to you than you think. Would it be possible to speak to a representative at the local veterans help office? I don't know the "official" name but they are run by the office of veteran affairs.
MiniSM is a bright, bright girl and there should be full scholarships available that she would qualify for. I would suggest applying to a service academy, but I know that she would be medically disqualified. She needs to speak to her counselors about scholarship availability.
I am so very sorry and I know that you are frightened. But we are all going to pray very hard that things are not they way that they seem to you now. It will take some work digging to find them, but I just know that there are resources available to you.
You all are in my prayers.

I will be praying for you and your family, SM, and I know my girls will try to purr up some good luck for you, too.

You have helped me immensely too when I was ill,I remember you saying that whatever happened I would deal with it and get better(paraphrased,you were more gentle) and I remember that while I was in the hospital and it gave me courage.
As for housing,if you do move out of your house there are often many for rent at decent rates. You have to research the owner though,make sure it's his property and also that he's up to date on taxes and fees. I'll find the website or maybe someone here knows it. [[[[[[[Big hugs]]]]]]] -
Dear SM, I'm very sorry to hear about ur predicament. But pls know that yu are in all our prayers and that has got to count for something. Do explore all the avenues everyone has suggested...don't give up. something will pop up. You're a good persona and so only good things will happen to you. Have faith.

Thanks to Catwoman it looks like we can get payments lower. Hubby is working that end. There is a huge meeting on Monday. People from much higher up are now involved. For me it seems a glimmer of hope that not all is lost. Prayers please--it may be all the difference in the world!
I am very glad I asked for help. Having this eat up my stomach has not been healthy. I can say that I didn't get sick this morning.
