I too feel so much sadness for those people in the article, and all the people I have come to know via this sight. My marriage is over, my children have suffered so much. I feel like I go through the motions, seeding the lawn, cleaning the house, in between meeting lawyers, researching securities and banking codes and regulations, and so on.
It is very difficult. I pray it will be at least over a big huge bump in the road tomorrow. I will via attorney, bargain with the mortgage co. I know I have the truth on my side.
I am happy I have worked so hard for all this last nearly two years. I have done all I can, and am proud of my strength. I thing the best thing you can do is NOT let yourself go there, to the sad side of the road, look away, divert your attention elsewhere. I do not achieve this each and every day, but more than not, probably 90% of the time. That's pretty good I think. When I do give in, I try not to let it go on too long, otherwise I feel I might spiral into the abyss.
I pray for all of you to find your happy ending. Thank you for sharing this, I think it is a great idea for people, not to dwell, but to be able to share this fear, or depression, however it manifests in each of us.
But you must make a decision, and go with it. Keep your chin up, as they say, and have faith, faith, faith... Know that where ever you land, there will be something around the corner, or behind the door, that IS good.
Be Happy!
