Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

As the old saying goes.. "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger".

Very true.

My husbands cousin died in an awful contruction accident this past Wednesday. (It was in the news if you can recall). The pain that I witnessed his fiancee & mother go through at the wake is something I cannot even fathom. You never know how much inner strength you have until your faced with something unimaginable.

Hugs to you all.

First I want to say for your DH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I want to say to you for being strong enough to get through it.

Yes I know exactly how you feel. If I were to write a book, it would be a tear jerker and I'd rather not. People say that it makes you a stronger person..............I don't know about that, but I do know that somehow we find the strength to make it through. Who knows........

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

for you!

and yes sometimes I think I should write a book, and i'm only 23!!

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

Sometimes I feel like I should have my own reality show.. I can't make things up for the things that go on in my life sometimes..

God only gives us what we can handle.. I firmly believe that.

Yay for your husband though!! That's a great thing!!!

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

I am so sorry about all the losses in your life and i am so happy that your dh is doing well. I feel I can write a book about my life also I have had so much drama and problems in my life from friends to family and even jobs that I have been in.

I am sorry for your loses and happy to hear your dh is now cancer free.

personally, no.

I'd live to write a book (b/c I love to write in general) but not about my life.

I don't think there is anything very remarkable about the hardships I've endured in my life. especially when compared to so many others.

to those suffering now,

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

I really do, but am sure most people would say the same. Life is rough sometimes! Hope things get better for you and your family and my prayers are with your DH.

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

I've been writing in my journal for years now about a particular topic . I really should write a book...people would get a kick out if it.

but if I wrote a book- it would be a positive book about how I go thru it all

definately, i would focus on the positive of how to get through it also.

hugs to you beth

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

yes definitely!! my dad had me at 76 (my parents were 40 years apart....yes you read that right!), he died when I was 17 and I've pretty much supported my family since then! I've had lots of crap happen to me that I could write about, but I actually find my dad's life way more interesting! He thought his dad died when he was 3 yrs old (and he was placed in an orphanage after his mom died when he was 12)......but in reality, my paternal grandfather left Ohio (where he was from) moved to California and started a whole new family. Not sure if him dying was a lie my grandmother told him so he wouldn't feel abandoned......but my dad died not knowing that his father actually lived until the 1950's! I found out all this stuff from tracking someone down online that is remotely related to me.

Janie - Im sorry about what happened to your DH cousin. My Condoloences to his family.

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

YES.

HUGS to you and your DH. Congrats to him for kicking cancer's butt!

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

Some days yes, and some days no.

I feel like a lot has happened to me for 33. But I do know that there are people with much more heartbreaking stories to tell.

Re: Do you ever feel like you have been through so much in your life that you could write a book?

Sometimes, or at the very least a soap opera.
