Send a Few Good Thoughts This Way

[thetimesgoneby]

Good thoughts and a few prayers would be appreciated over here you guys.... to make a long story short...they couldn't wake up my sister-in-law... called the ambulance... she took an overdose of a combination of God knows what all... (valium, hydrocodone, methadone.. and several I don't recognize).... we've been preaching to her for several years telling her that one day she wouldn't wake up... and here we are... they think she will be ok... although she's said a few things that worry me (about seeing dead people)..I'll explain that later.. anyway, say a prayer for her, her name is Debi...

You guys are so sweet, thank you so much. Looks like Debi will be alright... they are however sending Social Services to her hospital room to talk to her about help... and perhaps other things, I don't know. They gave her many doses of Narcon? I think that's what they called it.... took a long time for her to wake up and be at all coherent. She's been doing this crap for years... popping pills from every source available. I've no doubt if I ever took the handful that I've seen her take, it would probably kill me on the spot...but after years and years of it, I guess she's built up enough tolerance to take that many (until now apparently) About the stuff she said that had me worried was... She woke up for a second and said, "Penny, I died this morning and I came out of my head and saw it all." Then she passed back out. About an hour later she asked what "Carla Bieker" was there for.... (Carla died several years ago from a car crash).... she periodically kept mentioning people that passed away being there to visit her, without seeming to realize that they were dead. Had me worried.... I've always heard that sometimes happens a couple of days before a person dies themselves. I'm hoping that isn't the case.... and maybe it was just a warning. Anyway...I'm sure she'll have a long row to hoe... but at least, currently...she is ok for the moment. I thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and or your prayers....it means alot to me. 🙂

My warm thoughts and many prayers going your way. I've been through this with a niece, who we lost at 19 after a 4-year battle with anorexia and bulimia, and I do know what you are going through. Hopefully, she will get - and be ready to accept - the help she desparately needs. She will need support from all of you, but make sure you take care of yourself, too. This can really take a huge toll on family and friends. Many hugs, Sher

Thank you, Sher... 🙂 I hope she's ready to get help... we've known this would happen eventually for probably 25 years now. ::sigh::

May light dispell the darkness for you and your loved ones. Maybe a bit poetic, but I don't know how else to word it. "I wish you the best" just doesn't cut it. Words always fail with things like this. They're never exact enough. My heart goes out to you and I don't have a way to say it with words; so, just know that you & your loved ones are being thought about and sent "good vibes". Love ya, -Jendria

[thetimesgoneby]

Thank you both... and I love poetic, Jendria. 🙂

Penny, I hope things are still progressing well for the health of your loved one. A thought on what you mentioned about people who had passed away. Could be that her subconscious was accessing her memory (like a computer going over archived files;-)) ...just like those little things that pop into your head for no apparent reason. Regards, Belinda 🙂

Or maybe she was sitting on the veil between this world and the next, some documentation has been done on that. They see and talk to the people, then they are told to go back because it wasn't their time. Oftentimes it changes a persons life. That to me is a comforting thought. I do hope all goes well and she gets the courage to follow through on help offered to her. I also send good healing vibes for her spirit.... HeatherM

I hope you're right, Heather... the *living* haven't been getting through to her, perhaps the dead will. She's out of the hospital, they've put her in a day program to rehabilitate her...she gets to go home at night. We're still not sure if they will end up removing her daughter and grand daughter from her home though. She is now mad at the whole family, as one of my other sisters-in-law called the doctor that was giving her methadone sp? and told him that she had OD'd and if he gave her anymore, they would prosecute him... and Debi thinks that her sisters called social services on her and reported her. It was actually the Doctor, but Debi's mind, well.. I guess it still isn't working quite right. Keep her in ya'll's prayers... Lord knows she needs it.

Words seem so hollow at this point in time for you all, I'm sure, but that is all we have. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Penny...so sorry to hear this...I hope Debi will be fine.

[thetimesgoneby]

Just wanted to update you... Debi is doing much better... she's in rehab.. and she's still *straight*. 🙂 We're crossing our fingers. Thanks to all of you for the prayers and thoughts. They mean alot to us.
