As far back as I can remember, we've had to deal with tragedy and trauma in our family on a very regular basis. Anything that CAN go wrong HAS gone wrong in our lives and it seems nothing positive happens. I don't believe in curses and am the last one to consider myself superstitious, but all my life I've felt as though a proverbial "black cloud" has hung over my family for many years. As a survivor of many hardships, I can say that susperstition is laughable, but something happened to us today that really frightened me for the first time.
My mom attended a friend's funeral this morning. Usually the funeral attendant removes all of the funeral flags from the cars in the procession. Well, she came out after the service and noticed that everyone's flag had been removed...except for hers. It was left untouched. We called the funeral home and they want it back, maybe the attendant forgot it. The thing is, we often are the only ones to get, as one would say, "bad omens". I'm not superstitious, but countless times, weird things have happened before a tragedy or hardship struck, things we can't explain, and shortly after, things start going very wrong...
Some believe that things happen in a series of 3's...well, recently, 2 of my mother's co-workers lost relatives, so it would make sense that maybe she'll be the third one to complete the cycle, right? i'm thinking the one who's gonna die next is me...or her. I'm getting sick to my stomach thinking about this, I suffer from anxiety as it is because our life circumstances are never stable with bad things happening so often, and I'm beginning to panic. i'm afraid to leave the house or do anything. Some advice would be greatly appreciated!
