Unhappy Please say a prayer for a member of this forum

This was posted on another forum and I wanted everyone here to know about Underdog's plight:

"My father too, is dying. He undergone tracheotomy for an acute
pulmunar disease just two days ago, after been in surgery for a
disease in the bladder. Right now he's in acute pain, he can not
even talk to us because air cannot reach his vocal chords. I dunno
what to do, it's like moving underwater, it's like this is happening to
someone else, right now I'm moving and living like some sort of
robot, something deep inside of me has broken beyond repair.

I know that this will sound horrible, but sometimes I pray that he
stop living, I know him too well, and even if he can not talk me he
whispered "take me away from this".

My mother is broken in half, but, nonetheless, we own a coffee
shop, so we MUST smile to customer.

To add insult to injury, my ex girlfriend, the one that I was ready to
marry, and that rejected me sendin me in acute depression, work in
the very same hospital where my father is. I see her everyday, and
that hurt.

Many times during the day I blank out, and many time I find my
glock, my stupid glock pointed at my temple. I dunno what horrible
things I did in my previous lifes to deserve this, but my life was pure
pain at least from 15 years. I know that I'm not destined to endure
this world for long, but deep inside I must find at least the strength
to sold our shop in order to guarantee a decent living for my mother
and my sister."

Underdog: I feel your pain since I am in your shoes too. My Dad is slowly dying also and I've had a rough road. We both walk the same path. Circumstances are different but the pain is the same. There are days that I am very strong and others where I don't want to get out of bed. Please stay tough for your father, mother and family. That is what keeps me going. If the situation were reverse, I know that my Dad would be strong for me and not give up.

Please stay in touch.

Hang in there Underdog. Life moves on and pain fades with time. You just gotta be strong and hang in there.

Hang in there UD. My father has been battling caner for awhile now. He is doing well for the moment. The Doctors consider it nothing short of a miracle that he is alive and it could change in a heartbeat. After my sister was murdered I blamed myself.
I too put a gun to my head a few times. I couldn’t do it. At the time I thought it was because I lacked the balls to pull the trigger. Now I think it was the opposite. I had the balls to keep going.

When something like this is happening in your life you feel alone. Like you are the only one who is dealing with something like this. Everyone else looks happy and you feel like the only one. You are NOT alone.

Take care.

Underdog,

I also know what you feel. I lost my grandma and a dear friend soon after each other.
Just stay strong for youre dad and youre loved one's.

Do you realy think blowing youre brains out with a glock is going to do anything good?? think about youre mom and youre sis.

Just be strong.

It might sound corny but after the rain shines the sun.

Hang in there man....

I've had to fight cancer twice in my life and I'm only 22...Let me tell you... the doctors expected the worse for me and were saying I would need a bone marrow transplant to get well...
They thought that I would get sick again reall soon if I didn't get the transplant...
.but, after a few courses of chemotherapy I have been cancer free for years....didn't even need the transplant!

I'm in the best shape of my life now and I no longer need to take ANY medication...I thank God everyday for this

Underdog.......I know its hard to even believe in God at times like these ....but trust me....He exists.....from all that I have experienced in my life...I KNOW he exists...
keep prayin man.....God hears you....
You might not always get the answer you want...but he hears you..

through all my trials I've learned to accept whatever happens to me and know that it happens for a reason...It may not be clear at the time of trial ...but you WILL realise it later....


keep the faith bro...

I just wanted to say, hang in there and be strong. I'm not sure how ill your father is, but even if the worst case scenario does happen, you still have your mother and sister to think about.

Putting a glock to your head might seem like the easiest thing to do, but I think your father wouldn't want you to do that. Please think about him. You've got to carry on for him. Part of him lives in you, and the best way to do him justice and remember him is to be strong and fight and carry on, even if he can't be there to guide you. Imagine all the stuff he's been through. I don't think he could possibly bear it if you took your life too.

Be strong and God bless you!

Default Stay Strong for your Mother and for Yourself.

Hey UD,

Be strong for your family, they need you to be strong through this time. My father was in the hospital near death for 2 weeks and I truly believe that it was the power of prayer that got him through.
Whether you're a religeous man or not, always know that prayers are there for you as mine will be for your father.

Stay Strong,

BM

I just clicked on this thread...my god Underdog, I am so sorry for all this shit. I cannot even to begin to comprend the pain you and your family is going through. The only support I can give is not through prayer because my own faith is shaky, but my upmost support. This is a battle that you will win friend. Stay safe and always hope for the best.


Steven

Much thanks and respect to Sweep for making this post.
