How much can the human heart take?

Sometimes I wonder how much the human heart can take before breaking, thus causing loss of one's self. What do you do when you reach that point? You can only repress so much sadness and hurt before the spillways open to relieve pressure. The question is, can the spillways be closed again?

I think everyone is aware of my mom's health and now, because there is no one to help out with the mortgage that she shouldn't even be responsible for, the house we all grew up in is in foreclosure and she is very likely going to be put on the street. With her medical problems and inability to even get out of bed by herself, I'm honestly not sure she would survive loosing her house.

I'm just not sure how much more I can take. I try to keep busy and repress as much as possible but, it's just getting too hard. There just doesn't seem to be light at the end of the tunnel.

Just wanted to get some thoughts out on paper as it were.

Sorry to hear... maybe your parents just need a cheaper smaller place, now that all the kidees are out, and hopefully they can scrape by for the time being. Best of luck to your family!

A smaller place by Krishna and I would be ideal if there was some form of income to pay for it. You know why there isn't which adds a whole other level of issues. Thanks for your wishes.

Jeremy I'm so sorry to learn of your mother's home. This world is getting harder by the day and it's scary. We are told that the Lord will not give us more than we can handle but there have been times that I have wondered just how much more can a person take. My cousin is losing his home of 20+ years because of company cut backs. It's happening everywhere. It's going to take family and friends and blessings from above to help our country through this. I will keep you & your family in my thoughts and prayers. But it does seem others are suffering more than their fair share.

Jeremy,

My heart breaks for you and your family. You are constantly in our hearts and prayers. We are always here for you. Sometimes I feel that the Lord tests his people to limit where they sorta feel like they are drowning before, he throws them a floaty! I hope you have wonderful Thanksgiving. You are a great person hang in there.
