Widow with chronic PTSD
Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2021 12:02 pm
Hello, my name is Sheila. I would never have expected to be on this end, and would rather be able to help others. This month has been nothing short of surreal and to say crisis level is over the top for m. My mom 83 year old and my disabled son. we are both widow and I have chronic PTSD.
I am my mother's caregiver, and my son. He is 30 years old, but unable to function at a normal life due to TBI, and his injuries rendered him in a drug treatment of over 7 years. He is taken each morning for medical treatment. I have been on food stamps for me and my son because I have no ability to work due to my own medical problems at 58 years old. I have chronic PTSD from trauma, RA, fibromyalgia and debilitating physical depression.
To sum up this request for help, we can't pay our house payment this month of 767.00 and other household bills. They have no forbearance program. We have always been on time and if I don't get this paid by the deadline this Sunday 17th December will set in motion a lot of grief with the mortgage company. I have nothing left to sell to try to recoup the near 800 lost in just trying to catch up with other past due bills and then unexpected medical bills for my son.
I have lost too much weight on top of this because of this stress and my PTSD which never goes away as it is chronic. I have never felt so depleted from dignity as I do now. I made a promise to my father hours before he passed, that I would honor him in taking care of mother and always remember his legacy as a veteran of the Army, who essentially signed a blank check, his life to serve this great nation to protect our freedoms with great honor, duty and respect. After exhausting every possible way to get immediate help without red tape and delay, I have come here prayerfully for help to pay this month's mortgage as well as other bills. God bless you
