What Do You Do To Overcome Sadness?

[_Cathy_]

Tinamaan na naman ako ng lungkot.

Lahat ng tao dito sa bahay may sakit I get so sad whenever I am reminded that my family is ageing. My Auntie (eldest sister of my Mom) is due for heart surgery on Monday. I know she will make it easily but it makes me so sad, yung life cycle. My Lola is turning 91 and I pray that she lives longer, though my Kuya and I think she will make it to 100. Nakakapag mall pa ng naka cane lang e and still very sharp with finances.

I am also mid 30s and getting pressured to have children of my own, I feel bad when my Mom would show her affection for babies strangers and then they would comment that I should have my own. I think I am too idealistic when it comes to romance and family life. Masama rin ata na I have such good parents and a happy family growing up and I am afraid to have anything less. I am not kidding when I say that my parents ALWAYS put me first before themselves, unconditional love talaga. Even my Lola and Aunties, they never say no to me. Ayan tuloy naging masyado ako idealistic

Sayang talaga kasi si crush, he gave me so much attention and made me feel so loved and cared for. I think he can match my family's love for me. Oh well...

it's your life, madam.
you are in charge of it.

however it turns out to be, let it not be said, na "kasalanan nila, dahil pinilit nila akong gumawa ng..."

30s is not yet too late, for anything.
one simply has to be clear to oneself, why one is doing so.

So long as you've expressed love, given love to the ones deserving. Life will be worthwhile. And That is something to be happy about.

Crush isn't capable of making you happy. Because he doesn't possess the things I mentioned above. He is selfish. He let you feel this misery. He let you down.

Love the ones who deserve to be loved.

It's only in the past 5 years that I realized how hard it is not to have siblings, husband or kids. This is the time when family members started showing age related health problems. Now I am alone to take care of everything, iba yung marami kayo nagtutulungan. I am not complaining but it's hard to explain. For example, making decisions, going to the doctor, taking care of errands, kapag marami kayo nagtutulungan (not just financially but more on time emotions) It seems less scarier.

I think a family member needs surgery and I am so scared. Also, our surgeon is 92 yrs old! But my Mom and Tita says he is the best and only operates on special cases. I told them kaya pa ba ng 92 but they insist na this will be as easy as routine for him.

Mom calls his Tiko. Is he the same person? Dr A.P.S.

I'm hesitant because he is in his 90s, but my Tita and Mom say that he s very good.

[dr. d]

Mom calls his Tiko. Is he the same person?

yup! that's him.
he has out-practised practically everybody in the hospital.

So I guess I know which hospital you work It's so far but he only goes there.

Doc, please please assure me again that he is still good to do surgery. I am very nervous for my loved one
