As some people on here know I am a caring and compassionate guy, but life is hitting me kinda hard. I have recently graduated high school and am meeting new aspects of my life. I am coping with the change quite well, but life is hitting me pretty hard.
My grandma has type(level) 4 lung cancer that has taken hold of a long a shoulder and possible her brain. We can do little besides complete or aid in the completion of her bucket list. Some would view this as a tragic event, and part of me does. The other part of me looks at this as a new beginning for all of my mom's side is of a monotheistic religion, with a belief in a savior and an afterlife. She helped run a church, now she has gotten this cancer from smoking. So those of you that smoke cigarettes please seek help, it usually catches up in the end.
My mom has had a rare type of cancer in her hand since '06(2006). It is untreatable, well besides amputation. If it shows any signs of progression or growth they will amputate a section of her hand. This is a small thing. Though with all my mom's other problems, she provides zero income besides her disability check, and her mind isn't what it used to be. I still believe she is safe, but I worry about my parents finances. For my older brother and I plan on "leaving the nest" shortly. I know they should manage, but I have my doubts.
These are some things that disturbing me at the moment.
I have multiple coping techniques though the most effective is writing things out. Hope this gave you all a peek into my world!
