Hell hath no fury like you do when you ain't happy. [/quote] OM Gosh ... . Hate to say it though -- she's right, 100% right. I have quite a temper. It's the puertorican/fiery latina side of me. It gets me into lots of trouble. I've gotten better -- but gosh I think I will have to spend a good amount of time in purgatory for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictlyinkblot Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 How are you coping? My retreat starts tomorrow so I'll be praying for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaD2006 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Actually with respect to my aunt's passing -- I'm fine. What I was really having a hard time dealing with is the divisions that have occurred in my family. Once I realized that the only thing I can do is pray, and do my best to resolve my own resentments towards certain family members and then attempt to be an instrument of unity, I stopped being so sad. My aunt -- she had suffered for 6 years. She was talkative the weekend before her passing, until she went into cardiac arrest and was resusitated on 10/14. My sister and I saw her on the 15th and the 16th, and she was pulled from life support on the 18th. My grief wasn't great due to her passing ... because I know for sure that she IS in a better place, and her suffering here on earth is over. Now, if she had been a parent (which I have already gone through) then its a completely different story. Besides I sure don't know where God will lead in the exercises -- all I know though is that I suspect that it will be another intense set of exercises.

cmaD2006 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 ok I'm logging off in a little bit ... I'm off to the retreat in the morning (7 hr trip). Will keep everyone from Phatmass in my heart (and trust that as He works on reforming and molding and shaping and firing the clay of my heart, that He would do likewise in all).
