When I miscarried I went to see an energy worker to heal and as she worked on me, I saw a blooming rose in my uterus. When I told her, she said almost every woman chooses the rose as a symbol of healing their reproductive organs.
I would love to send you some rosewater to spray when you are exhausted or just needing to feel nourished. If there's an appropriate way to give me an address, or--they have it on Amazon, I could send you a gift card and the link?
I am supporting you through prayers, light and energy. You are a courageous, beautiful person. These journeys transform and shape us, deepening the way we live and relate in this world. I know you are already transforming at a rapid rate and I support your journey through darkness to light.
love and light,

Queenie,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you know how important you are to all of us. I know you are are struggling right now, I hope you find peace....
Here is a poem, that i hope helps...
Never Give Up
I know that life is getting you down
And you want to smile, but only frown.
Look up, not down, for God is there,
He's ready to listen and answer your prayer.
The time and place are His to decide
You must believe in all you confide.
The pain will come and the tears will flow,
But never give up and you will know.....
God loves you more than words can say
He loves your hear and soul each day.
He'll never leave, He's your best friend
His arms will protect you til the end.
Miracles happen every day.....know that you are loved...

I only want you to be well again and I have no great wisdom to share but have been taught one thing that kept me going in difficult times: -> Don’t give up!
Wishing you so much to be healed from this horrible illness. You are in my thoughts,
hugs

Dear Queenie, I hope this post makes you smile. Even though we don't know each other in person, we'll walk beside you on this path with your health. We'll be behind you to catch you if you falter. Our voices will be added to pray for you, and with you, when you need it. I hope you can see that you are loved and are held close in our hearts and minds.
I make handmade cards, and although I didn't make this one, I've kept it for a few years, until the right person came along to share it with.
If you can't see the poem in the picture, it is as follows,
What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.
Love in friendship,
Christina

Hello my friend. Just wanted to let you know you're in my prayers every day! I know you're busy fighting this illness and you need to reserve all of your fight for that purpose. While you're busy doing that, know that there are so many of us sending you prayers and strength.Missing you and looking forward to catching up when you're up to it.
Take good care of yourself! Love and hugs to you, Clara

I do not know you and vice versa. But I have read about the ordeal you are going through and have to face. And it may sound silly, but I wish you well.
I wish you will be strong to face your friends and family and show them they can still talk to you, because you are not your illness.
I wish that people will not avoid you because they don't know what to say to you, because you are not your illness.
I wish that you will find the strength to get dressed on a day you'd rather stayed in bed, for the illness is not you.
I wish you are kind to the people who love you, even when the pain makes you angry and desperate, for they cannot feel the pain of your illness.
I wish that you will be strong and fearless for the moment that will come for us all, for it will help all that will join you a bit later so much.
I wish you well your Majesty,
Han van Meegeren

This is for Queenie. She doesn't know me, so there is no need to say who this is from. I don't know if she is Christian, but I found this on YouTube and thought she might like it. She should start watching at about a minute and 40 seconds in.

Aaaaaaand here's one that isn't Christian related.

You have a special place in my heart. Back when I was the new girl on the block, I remember that you and I were both the 'non-bloggers' in Wilma's Subs in the City group. And even though I now know the truth behind that, I still feel a special kinship with you - and I probably always will. :)
What you are going through now is extremely hard. I myself have not been through it - but I've had friends who have. What's most important I think is not feeling totally alone. And Queenie, you are not alone.
For my friends and family who've gone through battling cancer (or any difficult medical issue) - the only thing that really gives them (and me) strength is their faith in God. Having a Bible and reading God's word is so powerful and comforting. Being able to pray and to put your trust in Him is like nothing else. I pray that you will be able to turn to Him, and find that comfort and strength that only He can give. And that you also have lots of love from your friends and family to envelope you as you fight this battle.
Here are a few verses that are highlighted in my Bible - they are especially precious to me.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Proverbs 3:4,5
Trust in the Lord, with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.
Psalm 27: 13, 14
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
Isaiah 40: 28 - 31
The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.
He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly,
yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.
Psalm 54:4
Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul
Matthew 11:28, 29
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Philippians 4:6,7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I mean nothing offensive Queenie - and I am certainly not being 'preachy' here. It was really the only thing of value that I could send you from my heart.
I would love to hear from you if ever you are able - but I totally understand if not. I send you my best, and I will be praying for you and looking for updates on Cat's blog.
With love,
Cali

Queenie…please remember your are part of our family. If there is anything we can do to help, please reach out.
Thank you to all who contributed...if you have not contributed and would like to, it is not too late...go ahead and send it to me and I will be happy to add it to this post.
Beautiful! So heartfelt! I am amazed at the positive energy! Queenie we love you!
ReplyDeleteHi Minelle :) I feel so privileged that you used your considerable talent to draw something for me!! It is just awesome and I love it! The more I study it, the more I see, think and feel. I will treasure it forever! Thank you!
DeleteBig hugs!
Love,
Queenie
I am very glad! Take the love and strength from us!
DeleteThank you Cat for your incredible heart and generosity towards those you care about. I hope that Queenie is blessed by the outpouring of love expressed here.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Cali
Hi Cali :) First, yes, I have to wholeheartedly agree with you. Our Cat is an incredible woman and we are all just so very blessed that she is here and is always such a source of comfort and inspiration. I don't think you were being preachy at all Cali. I love the verses and I thank you so much for taking the time to post them. It's almost like you've been here and have seen me use bible verses to get through some difficult things. My very favorite is Luke 8 43-48. Some of the verses you sent are ones I've heard, but didn't know which chapter and verse. Now I can print them out and add them to my collection of especially uplifting verses. Trust me, I will be using them too. Every single day. Yes, I know what you mean about that connection we had on Subs. I feel the same and I thank you for being such a generous and forgiving soul. God Bless.
DeleteHugs and love,
Queenie
I hope Queenie loves everything here. I need to get up and get some kleenez - my face is currently wet. WoW!
ReplyDeleteHi Christina :) Oh, yes! I absolutely LOVE every single one! I had to read them in stages. They all made me cry and I had to step away a few times. It's just too much to take in at once. I can't tell you how touched and overwhelmed I am by this. I actually had been thinking that I've been gone so long and everyone has forgotten and moved on by now. That's just the way of life, and totally understandable. I underestimated the good people of blogland! I don't know how I became so fortunate as to find this place and all of you, but I am so grateful that I did. Christina, the card is just beautiful! I love it, thank you!! I so agree with the words and sentiments expressed. I will print it out to read whenever I need those reminders. There have been some days that I allowed the cancer to take some of those from me. Fortunately, those days are few and I always take them back!!! The things that you said before you posted that beautiful card......they mean so much to me C. BTW, I had been wondering how all this came about and I happened to read the special guest post of February 7th. Words cannot express how much your post means to me. You've always held a special place in my heart anyway because yours was one of the first blogs I ever read and you were so very nice and welcoming to me as both Cowgirl and Queenie. As I said before, I am honored to call you friend. Thank you. God bless you and yours always.
DeleteHugs and love,
Queenie
Such beautiful and heartfelt messages. Thank you so much for organising this Cat. I hope this brightens Queenie's day and that she feels the love and positive energy. We love you Queenie :)

Hi Roz :) Cat is fabulous isn't she?!! Everybody needs a Cat in their life!! I can't tell you how much this did brighten my day. Heck, not just my DAY, my entire 2015 more like it! I am so very grateful for those prayers and well wishes Roz. Please keep them coming, they work better than any thing else I have in my arsenal.....and my arsenal is considerable! Thank you for your unfailing kindness Roz.

Hi Cat, thank you for organising this, I think it is awesome that you do that. I loved reading all the wonderful messages and hope so much that Queenie enjoys them and that they give her strength in this difficult time.

Hi Nina :) I think you can tell a lot about a person just by reading their comments for a period of time. I've been reading yours for some time now. On this blog and others. I have always been so impressed with your kindness and compassion. You're a special lady and I pray that you and yours will be richly blessed. Thank you so much for your encouraging words and support. I am grateful. They certainly do give me strength. I agree, giving up just isn't an option. Ever. Heck, even if I wanted to (which I don't), no one would let me!! LOL!
DeleteHugs and love,
Queenie
Such an amazing gift! I know Queenie is going to love this when she has a chance to see it all. We're all here for you and we're sending you all our best!!
ReplyDeleteHi Clara :) I'm speechless my friend! Yes, this is the most thoughtful gift I've received in some time.Thank you so much for leaving me the message to look on Cat's blog. You have been unfailingly supportive and compassionate and I feel very blessed and lucky to call you friend. Thank you so much for everything. You will always have a special place in my heart as well. You were the first blogger I ever spoke to on the phone. Remembering how nervous I was about it makes me smile now :) Right from the first email, you have been such a blessing to me. I think of you often and hope that everything is going well for you and Luke and the rest of your family. I'm looking forward to catching up with you soon. Take good care of yourself, you deserve it!
DeleteBig hugs and love right back!
Queenie
Wow! This post is incredible! Thanks Cat. You are so full of goodness!
ReplyDeleteQueenie - best wishes always.
Hi Sarah :) I agree, this is just incredible and I am one lucky and richly blessed woman!! I'll gratefully take those well wishes Sarah. Thank you so much!
DeleteHugs and love,
Queenie
Hi Cat :) WOW. This is just so amazing. I never in a million years expected anyone to do this for me. It's overwhelming. How can I ever thank you for all you've done?! You have no idea how much this means to me. I will be smiling and uplifted for weeks! I will treasure this post and each and every person who took the time to contribute something. Thank you for being so generous as to use your blog for this and thank you for all the time you put in reading those emails and then organizing everything and putting this wonderful healing post together. You're incredible Cat and you'll always hold a very special place in my heart. I would like to post an update soon if you'll be so kind as to let me guest post again. Until then, please know that all the prayers and good thoughts are indeed working to lift my spirits and I am feeling much better physically these past few days. I truly believe that this post and all the thoughts that were sent my way in the writing of it have a lot to do with that! If I ever have the good fortune of meeting you face to face someday, please know that I plan to hug the stuffing right out of you!! Might even throw in a cheek smooch if you don't escape in time, LOL!
ReplyDeleteHugs and much love,
Queene
Forgot to mention...I love the pictures you came up with! The first two made me laugh out loud, and the last one touched my heart.
DeleteHey Queenie...This was a family effort...your family...just because you haven't been around, does not mean you are thrown out of the family. LOL So happy you enjoyed all the contributions...just remember to bookmark this post so you can come back and read any time you need a reminder of how much you're loved and/or need a pick-me-up.
DeleteYou are welcome to share an update whenever you want...just send it to me and I will be happy to post it. I know everyone would love to be kept updated.

Hi Renee :) So happy to see you. Thank you so much for contributing and sharing such a personal story. I am so sorry for your loss. I love lavender and aromatherapy is something I'm just now beginning to investigate. I hadn't heard that about the rose before, I just know I love roses, they're beautiful and they smell fantastic! That they can be so healing is really not a surprise, I believe God supplied us with everything we need if we can only be open minded enough to explore the possibilities. It wasn't so long ago that I would have been touched by your generous offer and I would have thanked you, but I wouldn't have accepted your gift. I've always had trouble accepting gifts, I'm not sure why. Anyway, several smart people have recently been able to show me that by accepting a gift I honor the gift giver as well as myself. Renee, I gratefully accept your most thoughtful gift of rosewater and I'm very touched by your thoughtfulness! I'll email you. Thank you for your supportive, beautiful words as well. God Bless.

Hi Meredith :) Thank you so much for sending those two items. I love the to do list. I think we should all make that our own! I couldn't agree more that we believe whatever we tell ourselves. I have found that my physical being is heavily dependent on my mental state and my attitude. If I tell myself that I feel bad and everything is just hopeless, my health declines in a hurry. Fortunately, it works both ways and being positive has the opposite effect. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out Meredith. God Bless.

Hi Abby :) The poem is beautiful, thank you so much. I love it and I know I will be rereading it often. Abby, your words to me have been so very thoughtful and kind on several occasions now and I appreciate them, and you, more than you know. You are one special lady. God Bless!

I wanted to make you laugh, Queenie. It's good medicine. :)
DeleteBut do know that I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. And keep those spirits high! If pictures of sexy firemen or such might help with that, let us know... ;)
There was a Clint Eastwood movie marathon on all day yesterday..........I really enjoyed it ;)

Hi Hans :) Your Majesty!! I like the sound of that!! Maybe I should ask my hubby to call me Your Majesty! LOL! You made me laugh, thank you! You may not know me at all. but I've read your comments here often enough to feel I know you, just a little bit anyway. I thank you so much for taking the time to contribute to this post and I love the wishes you sent for me. I wish those things too and I think a lot of them have become reality. I really like that your take on it is unique. I do sometimes get so wrapped up in my own struggles that I forget that my loved ones are suffering too. They have the harder job in my opinion. To watch helplessly as your loved one goes through something like this is pure hell. I've been on that side of things too. Thanks for helping me to remember to support them as well. I wish you good health, peace and love.

Hi Sarah J :) Google ate my first comment, let me try this again! I remember you from Subs, thank you so much for taking the time to contribute. I love the two videos/songs. The first is just so touching and heartfelt and how many times have I asked God for the exact same thing. The second is fun and I smile just to watch her enjoying herself so much. Shake it off has become my mantra, even sometimes with the shoulder brush off, lol. Love Paul and Tina, I'm going to be checking out their other videos/story. God Bless.
