PostSecret
Every Sunday I anxiously read PostSecret. They update the blog on Sundays and the post is only there for a week and then it's changed. SO I really should have told you about this sooner but it has weighed on my mind all week and I just have to tell you how deeply I was touched by one postcard.
If you're unfamiliar with the site, people send in a secret on a postcard anonymously. Often there are cards that touch me, make me laugh, gasp, or feel less alone. This past Sunday one made me cry. I couldn’t even read it aloud to Dennis for my tears and I am tearing up as I write this now. Here’s what the card said:
I’m not going to try to cope when
my mom has lost her battle with cancer.
I’m going to kill myself.
I hope there is an afterlife.
Go to PostSecret to see the actual card. And maybe take a moment to pray, appeal to your higher power, send this person good vibes or whatever you believe. Let’s change her heart.
Cancer Sucks!
I haven't looked at PostSecret much, but your post inspired me to look on
there. That image has a really strong message. It makes me think of my own
mom. If she died, I'd be completely lost. I don't know what I'd do. I don't
think I'd kill myself, but I'd have a hard time living after her death. I
hope this girl doesn't kill herself. Life sucks, but suicide cures nothing.
All it does is hurt those who are left behind.
yes - I saw that card on Sunday and it ripped me apart - because whoever
that person is - they have no understanding that their mother would TRULY
want them to live on.
I've only seen the book of Post secret. The card you posted is so heart
wrenching I hope they reach out to someone in their life who can actually
talk to them and make them see that their Mum would not want that.
Your're right cancer does suck!
I love Post Secret, too. Each week something touches me, or is something I
can relate to.
I went over and read them. So good. I love this web site too.
Yes I sure saw that. It made my heart stop! PostSecret is something else.
I bought two PostSecret books and as soon as I was done with them, my
oldest daughter took them home with her. Incredible.
I read PostSecret every Sunday too, and this card was one of many that
moved me.
That is so sad. Cancer is devastating to those around as well as the one
who has it.
