Can I chime in on this post? Ok, thank you....I will do just that. I just wanted to comment on the journal idea. Tonya, I've kept a journal since shortly after I was diagnosed. I don't write in it nearly as often as I use too but I wrote many very important entries. Especially "letters" expressing certain feelings and prayers that I have for my family - how I felt/feel through this experience.....how my faith has grown etc. Also, in this journal, in the back I have bible verses that our special to me - songs that are special to me - that I would want "if" I go before my hubby.
Anyway, that's all...just wanted to say the journal is a great idea and a wonderful outlet for you as a way of expressing those feelings you have bottled up inside. I kind of wrote/write the entries as if I am speaking to God...well, I am speaking to God.....the entries are like prayers.
Ok, I'll shut up now. Hehe.
