Farewell For Now

   sabrebIadeposted 13 years ago

   Well this may be my last post here for awhile.
   I have been fighting foreclosure since November of 2009, and today we finally ran out of options.
   So, as much as I love HP and the people here, other priorities are going to take the front seat.
   I may drop in from time to time, but I don't see me as having much time to really work on, or being able to focus on writing right now.
   Right now my main concern is not being homeless, taking care of everyone and keeping my sanity.
   I came to this house after I was born, lived here till I got married and came back here when my marriage crumbled.
   My father passed away in this house, and my mother spent the last few weeks of her life here.
   Letting go isn't easy, but the Bank took that burden off me.
   As soon as I figure out what I'm gonna do, I'll be back here.
   So everyone hold down the fort.
   Like I said, I'll probably pop in now and then to check stuff, but no new Hubs till something changes.
   Right now my hands are shaking so hard it's hard to type, so I'll end this here. 
   
   Take care of each other,
   Sabre

      Good luck. The banks are so ruthless.You can re-group and turn things around.Hopefully you will be paying less in rent than your mortgage and eventually save enough to put down a big deposit.Stay positve and things can only improve.

      So sorry to hear of your troubles. It's hard leaving a place you love, especially when it's not your choice.  At least your Hubs will still be here waiting for you when you get back - along with a nice chunk of Adsense earnings to help you on your way, I hope!

      OMG.. This is tragic!  No wonder you have been working soooo hard!  It hasnt gone unnoticed, you know!  I am really sorry hear that this has happened to you.  Really I am!  Given two years ago, things would have been different.  It seems that you are victim of the bloody bankers!  I am really sorry ... really I am.
      
      Good luck - my thoughts are with you for a break in life x

   I understand what your going through (I lost my place after being laid off), but just understand that people are always there for you. It took me a few months at least after all that happened to get my bearings again. Now I just live each day to the best that I can, and I can hope you do the same.
   
   As strange as it sounds, I relax my frustration by doing stuff online (ie, Hubpages), otherwise I would go nuts! Also it makes me feel productive while I face this ordeal that I'm going through as well, which sounds similar to yours.
   
   We'll get through it, just hang in there

   I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through.  Our family was deeply affected by the economy when my husband's job was outsourced.  I didn't lose my house, so I can only take a stab at how devastating that must be.  To add some optimism, things have gotten better for us, husband got a new job, and slowly things are turning around.  I know it's not a great consolation, but everything is temporary.  My thoughts are with you.  Keep us posted here and there on how things are going, should you find the time and inspiration.  Sorry to see you go, Sabre.

       It's sad, but you have to be strong and don't go away from Hubs! Keep writing, write about your new experiences and new place, about everything. We all have good times and bad ones, let's hope for the best. In 1994 we had to sell our home before we could lose it. I will never forget the last hour in my home. My oldest son was sitting on the floor with his friend. I came to him and said: time to go, hurry up. And he looked at me and said: can I stay for another week here? Please!
       It was like somebody just stabbed me in my chest, I could not breathe for a moment, and then I said: no, you can't!  I still remember that. You feel guilty and responsible, and shame for being weak and poor. But it's all just part of life and you have to go on and work for a better life. because it's your life and no one can live it for you. Best of luck, you'll need it.

    So sorry to hear about this Sabre. More power to you.
    You said your hands are shaking so at least I know you're not in denial!
    This will be a tough one, so gathering your resources together, (family and friends) come up with a new direction.
    Is there anything your friends here on hubpages can do to help?
    
    Apart from buying you another house or giving you the money you need, maybe there is someone here who can offer help in your area with ideas for work etc.

    Like everyone here, I'm saddened that you're traveling a rough road right now. This is part of a journey, however, not the destination.
    
    I'm sure that you'll emerge intact and stronger than ever.
    
    Maybe you can keep a written or video record of your thoughts and feelings during this time and share it later (marketed for $, of course).
    
    Stay strong and best wishes.

    So sorry to hear yet one more story like yours in this time we live in.    I've known a couple of people who have been through similar "stories".  I guess all you can do is be glad for any good health people in your family have (especially if you have healthy children); and keep in mind that no matter how rotten a thing this is, people do get through this kind of stuff when all is said and done.  Stay strong and keep your perspective.  Maybe, too - think of how your parents wouldn't want you to get so stressed out over "a building" your health could suffer.

    Again, thank you all for your good wishes.
    I'm gonna keep going as long as I can here.
    At first I was going to just quit for now, but everyone's words of encouragement have made me decide to do as much as I can before I have to "go dark" here.
    The bank was nice enough to extend us leaving till the end of the month (it was the 18th before) , which gives me some more breathing room.
    And they will actually be paying us to be out on the 31st.
    Seems a lot of people now are trashing their houses on the way out, so the money is an incentive not to do that.
    We have a few living options now that we are exploring so that's good.
    I guess now is a great time for me to review my own " manifesting" Hubs....LOL
    If you're gonna talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk right?
    
    But I want all of you to know how much your comments have meant to me.
    The fact that all of you took time to stop by the thread, and give me encouragement and ideas means more to me than you know.

    Well I stayed as long as I could, but we have the moving van outside and we are loading up.
    (Origin was right, it was better to stay online.)
    So tomorrow we'll shutdown the computers last thing, load em up and we're outta here.
    Where to?
    Frightening as it is, still don't know.
    So I guess tomorrow we officially join the ranks of the homeless.
    Kinda weird to say that.
    Really, if I had no responsibilities, this would kinda be a grand adventure for us.
    If I were 18 or 20 it'd be great.
    But when others are depending on you, it kinda takes the fun out of it.

       I don't know where you are or where your from, even where you're going. I wish I'd known sooner about this. Where I live there are a number of trailer, or mobile home parks, actually giving away handy man specials for free. The lot rent is reasonable, and the deal is you fix it up while you're there. If you land on your feet, and it's still not good enough to sell, you give it away to someone else, or back to them so they can find another needy party. You might see if there is anything like that going in your area.
       
       In the meantime you can carry on your on line life at the library. The internet is free there.

    Sabreblade, I saw your thread when you first wrote it.  It's good to see you've probably gotten through the roughest part of that whole experience.   My late in-laws lived in PA, and I always loved visiting and seeing mountains all around.  As you've seen, there can be "views" from plain, old, backyards and places like shopping centers.
