I haven't checked in, in awhile. Life has been so stressful since last October. As you may remember I lost a sister to suicide in October, followed by 2 other family members in October. Then in November I lost my husband and by the end of December I had lost a total of 7 family members. Added to that , I lost my home and had to move into assisted living. What a joke that was. They gave me one price when I moved in then raised their rates significantly 2 weeks later. I stayed for a bit then decided enough was enough. I moved back to Eastern Washington where I grew up and had family. Since moving here I have had to move twice. I am finally settled in a home I hate! Once my sister starts bringing in money we can start making improvements on the place. I bought an old mobile home because it was cheaper than rent.
The move to Washington was very rough. The moving company broke and stole many of my items. I am still trying to get reimbursement for them. Most likely I will never get reimbursed according to the attorney general. I found out there is an active case against them but it is very hard to get money from them. I am out about $3,000 between items damaged beyond repair and items stolen.
2 weeks ago I went for my annual mammogram and they found a suspicious area. The results of my biopsy came back yesterday and it is breast cancer.
I am devastated and wondering when the hits will stop coming. I am trying to keep a positive attitude but for the last 9 months my life has been hell. Add to all of this my MS and my diabetes and life is fun, NOT. I am thankful that I am in a good church and receiving help and encouragement from them.
Please pray for me as I continue to work through my struggles. I know I will persevere and conquer this but it is a struggle.

Prayers are with you ๐๐๐ Hope that things improve ๐. You have had enough bad luck ๐คฌ. Moving companies are getting terrible now days. I was a claims adjuster and for the most part homeowners insurance was only way to get money back for stolen and damaged. If they werenโt licensed and bonded itโs really hard. Sorry for your loss ๐๐ Ken ๐พ๐พ
Thank you. The problem I had is they are licensed and bonded. They are not the company I hired. The job was subcontracted out to them so they claim no responsibility and of course the company I hired also claims no responsibility. I had already sold my home so I had no home owners insurance to file with. The AG's office said I will probably never see my money and if I do it will only be about $300 because the movers pay by the pound on damaged goods, not by the cost. Of course the cost of the items was over $2,500.
Oh, my dear! That is so much to carry on your shoulders, and I pray that God will lift them off and give you exactly what you need for each moment and each day. Thank you for telling us about these things. You may always vent here, for we have soft shoulders.
Oh, Bygonelines! First of all let me say how good it is to hear from you, old friend! You have certainly been hit hard, but are still standing! Sending good thoughts your way and hoping for better days ahead!
Iโm glad you checked in as I was wondering how you were doing. Iโm so sorry for all youโve been through. Thatโs a lot for anyone to deal with so be proud of yourself for making it through and not giving up. You have a lot of strength!
Are you dealing with the Attorney Generalโs office in Washington State? Their consumer division was really helpful when I had an issue. I hope you are able to recover some of the damages.
Oh my goodness...I am thankful for church assistance too..i think going thru all this you must say..it hasn't killed me and darn im climbing backup again..thats it!You will be able to give knowledge, love, compassion even more when this is done.You have wisdom.Those who rip you off..will get their dues one day for sure.I have been homeless but not heartless..you will settle in and life will be good.do you hear me!
