Best answer!
watch my beautiful husband die for 4 months, then take his clothes and things to the funeral home I tried to plan his funeral about 3 days before he died, but I cried so much , the funeral director could hardly get anything out of me. Then, I had to go to 2 funerals for him ----and open casket too.....one in Mich, and one in Ohio; b/c some of his family members (including his son ! ) were too lazy to come up to Michigan for the funeral

Sometimes just going through life is the most difficult thing to do, or so it seems. I believe like Daren said loosing loved ones is one of the hardest things to do, lost my dad to cancer...
Now I have a nasty back injury and sometimes can't get around to well, I think that the pain is very difficult to handle at times. But, I believe recovering from surgery is probably the most difficult thing to do. I

Thanks you both, I'm fine just have to go take more pain meds, it really can effect your mood, wow. I used to have people in church ask me,"Are you mad or pissed off?"
I would say,"No, why do you ask?" They would always respond,"It's because the look on your face." And then I would explain to them that I was just in pain and didn't realize I looked mean. lol But I'm o.k. thanks guys...

Not yet, the doctor is recommending it, there's only a fifty, fifty chance it will help with the pain. I don't want to do it, I would like to keep that as my last option.
I did have surgery in CA, it took quite a long time to fully recover but, it wasn't back surgery, thanks for your kind comment though.

Thanks, I was born with a disk problem L-5. S-1. so I'm told, I am still very active when I can be, thanks for the nice comment.

Seven years ago a dog that developed a brain tumor and not knowing who I was any longer, mauled my hand. I never knew how painful it would be to have to end the life of something that I loved so much.

I know how you feel. I lost my dog Shirra too and it is the unconditianal love that they give, its what makes them so special. So sorry about your mom and your best friend.
6dogs4us - how very sad for you - the only doge I had in my adult life had a rare condition - adrenal tumours - cost me a fortune but I and my friends loved him so very much. He belonged originally to an old lady who died. I had to have him put to sleep eventually and remember just howling on the floor - even went the wrong way home after seeing him put to sleep - the vet said he was so happy - had to take him to the head vet who said bring him to me with respect to the young vet his notes read like 'War and Peace'.

My dad is dying form lung cancer and we found out today my little cousin 23 yrs old has lung cancer and I am still smoking... God please take these cursed things from me. Before I am only a memory to my own children.
FreedomFighte - I am also trying - driving me crazy - I have all the stuff - Patches inhaler, lozenges - Haven't used the patches yet. Pharmacist when I am ready to let him know also there is a tablet called champix - if that's the right spelling. I seriously have to stop soon. I also have electronic cigarettes the re-chargeable ones also the single one you buy and then can dispose of but now I hear next month they are going to print results of research on these - as although it claims only nicotine - this is dubious as although vapour helps the production of smoke - researches believe this is not the only ocmponent and will be looking at these products to see what they actually contain. Smoking is said to be the most addictive drug one the market even more so than heroin. Good book - I beleive I lent mine to a friend who gave up - many people did when they read it - must get this again. Allen Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking - there is also a video have the box but no video inside. Yes you can see the problem has been around for some time. Good luck!!

Sorry Ann, it's so difficult to loose someone you love. God will comfort us in these cases and give us that peace that passes all understanding, when we need it the most.
Ann, I am sorry for your loss. I know what you went trough. It happened with my father too, very painful. I believe what you said that we are going to see each other again.
Thank you Varon. I am sorry about your father. I know we will see them again Not that it makes it less painful, but it gives us hope.
Dear Ann - Seeing my Mamma - in hospital - appalling care - cannot get her little face out of my mind shortly before she died in July, 2012 - Oh my all these stories are so sad - I am blubbing here. Ann hope things are better for you now - I console myself by thinking my Mamma is in a better place and in peace now. xx

I've had to make many decisions through the years which have caused me angst. No different than any one here. I agreed with other family members to pull the plug on my step-father last week, we are all in agreement, this is what he expressed in better times and would have wanted.

Firing my best friend in the world.. Most painful experience.. but best friend he is, and still is.. Why upper management made me do this after I pleaded with them to find another way to dismiss him but not through me.. They wouldn't listen to me, no compassion, that's big corporations for you.. Only large corporation I ever worked for and i will never do it again.

Having to have a dog put to sleep. I have had to do it twice. I confess to crying like a baby and I am not ashamed to say so. Love my dogs.
My father said the hardest thing he had to do whilst in the army in France in WW1 was to shoot his horse. The army horses could not be brought home for quarantine reasons.

Debate foreclosure on my home.
We had a fire at our house. Within 9 months, my husband had a stroke. We were homeless and staying at my daughter's small apt. I began trying to figure out how to start my business. The problem was because I was already in foreclosure, wasn't bringing home enough to help her. Not only that but, her boyfriend started messing around on her with a 16 year old. Still debating on letting go of that house. It's eating me up because it is the only thing, besides the kids, that is my own. I hardly believe in an American dream anymore. Hard to do! But, I'm happy for the day! Tonight comes, the day is passed! It's a good thing!

itsmee
leeroy,
i'm commenting here because my response disappears if i try to answer in the right place. i have had back problems for ten years. i take methadone and have a fair quality of life.
the first five years were very difficult, i went all over california to the big hospitals to find a doctor who would tell me what was wrong and how to cure it.
some offered surgery. others didn't.
for the most part the doctors i trusted most told me to avoid surgery unless i lost control of my body functions or couldn't walk. i'm ok. my injuries and problems are way high on my spine - c5 -c6.
i guess surgery is very difficult and often not successful.
the most difficult thing i've gone through is the adjustment to pain and not being able to climb mountains ... stuff like that.
be well.

itsmee - I too have problems with my back - lumber spine - two failed epidurals but I am old. There is a guy called Sheriac - sorry cannot remember the spelling who wrote a medical book on back pain an enormous book and he said never put a knife into the spine. Seems your Doctors were correct - hope you are coping with pain - I take these - may try the epidurals again - failed as they could not hit the right spot - mine being several lumar discs. Really such a nuisance as cannot do lifting even bending down etc.
