Hi Grandy, Thank you for your supportive, caring and understanding reply. That,s why Im responding to you. I feel trapped and helpless. Im totally depedent on my carer because Ive got a terminal illness that is surely progressing. I have no controll. Im living in fear. Im very depressed and have no one to turn to. I have had to cut ties with my brothers for reasons. Im isolated and lonely. Im happy when I see my one friend. She is 85 years old and its hard for her to come and visit. And Im happy when I see my priest. I just want to be with Jesus.A kind uplifting word would help alot. I hope I have,nt put too much on you.I also hope you are ok.Thank you Chunty

Hi Chunty,

Were sorry to hear that you in a trapped and hopeless situation right now.  Dealing with a terminal illness and having to rely on carer can be very limiting and dealing with depression on top of all this cannot be easy. Being isolated and lonely must be difficult to deal with and we all need someone to talk to during such tough times.

If things get too overwhelming, we would strongly urge that you get in touch with our friends at Lifeline (13 11 14) or the Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467). 

If you would like some help finding mental health support, we would recommend that you get in contact with the Beyond Blue Support Service. They are available 24/7 by phone on 1300 22 4636 or on Webchat 1pm-12am AEST on our website: www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport  One of our friendly counsellors will be able to talk through these feelings with you and can offer support, advice and referrals. 

You can also find information on support groups is available on the Black Dog Institute site here - https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/resources-support/support-groups/ It might be helpful to join a support group to try and build a social network in your area.​​​ 

Keep coming back to the forum, the community is here to help and you do not have to deal with things alone.

Hello Dear Chunty,,

I am deeply sorry that you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness....

Please if you feel up to it..those contacts our lovely Sophie has given you are good to ring when you are overwhelmed...

I couldn’t imagine how hard it is for you, and the fear you feel would be really hard to manage...I hope you can talk to your priest regularly and your beautiful friend sometimes as well maybe by phone....

Do you know the beautiful and calming poem “Footprints”..I do believe in hard times Jesus is walking next to us..then carries us when it gets to much for us...

Dearest Chunty...I wish I could do so much more then talk to you through the internet...I am here when ever you need someone to talk to...regards of what it is....I hope in a small way that I can take some of your loneliness away from you....

Talk when you’re feeling up to dear Chunty....No...you haven’t put to much on me...and I hope it’s okay to chat to you....I am in hospital now...really lonely as well...

My kindest and most caring thoughts with a huge comforting hug if that’s okay...

Grandy..

Hello Sophie. Thank you for your kind and understanding message. You sure show lot of empathy.

I will certainly take your advice and build up my support and social network.

I checked the site you gave me and it looks encouraging.

I woke up this morning and started crying. I felt emptiness and want to pass on.

It is hard to cope with physical symptoms and low mood.

Anyway thanks Sophie for all your help

Have a nice day😊

[Chunty]

I must thank you for your kind, caring and comforting message.Believe me, it really helps alot. It is also good to know that someone cares.I am also happy to know you are a Christian and the message you gave me about Jesus was very comforting. You come across to me as a kind and caring person. Yes Im happy to have a hug from you. I will give you one too. I dont get any hugs or any kind words, except from my dear friend Vi. Father David also gives me promising things to come and spiritual care.I pray you will get better soon. God Bless. Chunty🍒🦄😋
