Stress..

Wish I didn't have it. It is sinking in and I am feeling like I am being swallowed by it. Ugh. I found out today I was denied coverage from my states healthcare. If I could insert a crying emote I would. I don't get it. Last time I was pregnant, I was working overtime..over 40 hours a week, Mike was working 2 jobs..and I was approved with no question. Now I work less than I was, Mike is down to 1 job, we have 1 child already and they flat out denied me coverage. What am I going to do? I just cried all of the way home today. Mostly because it is all my job's fault. I hate that they are shutting us down..I hate that the crushed my dreams of bringing a new baby into this world at the perfect time. I hate that I got a stellar position and as soon as I got it, they decided to close our branch.
Only God knows what is in my future. I am sure this is the perfect time, and he has the perfect plan for us. I try to not doubt him as he always knows best. I just am so fearful at my future. I am going to have to pay for COBRA and that is going to be soo costly that Mike may have to get another job. I tried to buy myself a policy today, and the rep told me that no matter what type of policy I try to buy, they will deny any pregnancy related claims. I just don't know what we are going to do.
I am still dealing with emotions surrounding my father in law's death. I am not going to try to not sound selfish as gosh, I am sure my mil is grieving her heart out. I think we all need to grieve and it will happen different for everyone. But it has been hitting me really hard lately. I wanted to so badly be there the last couple of weeks as he was passing, and I was. I was there the morning he left us, and now it is all that haunts me. I sit here alone and I just imagine his withered body. I can't shake those eerie thoughts out of my mind. Mike wanted to drive to their old house yesterday to see if there was anything left, and all I could think of as we were approaching it was death. Doom and gloom.
Sorry to be such a downer tonight. I have less than a half day tomorrow. Really tomorrow is my last day. I am off at 1:30 and that is it. I have to report to work on Wednesday morning at 10:00 am to collect my reference letter, (we all have to report in order to collect our severance packages) and then they are releasing us. Whew. I will be so glad to have it over with, but so lost as well. I have no idea where I am going, or what my life is going to be like next week. Yikes! Lord help us all! LOL!

Heather I would call them and see why you are being denied. It doesn't seem right that you would not qualify. Maybe it was a simple error? I hope you are able to get some decent insurance. If you need any help, have any questions let me know, I know a little bit about coverages, etc from my medical billing/coding stuff. Lots of hugs!!

Heather,

I am sooooo sorry. I don't even know what to say. Something HAS to work out with the insurance...what a headache though.

I do believe that good will come out of this...it just sucks that you need all this stress while pregnant. I wish I could come there and give you a BIG hug.

Things WILL work out H...I promise you. Not to be cheesy, but God WILL put you where you're meant to be....

I'm sorry you're still thinking of your FIL, it's going to take quite awhile...esp. with all those extra hormones...

I'll shut up now, just know i'm thinking and praying for you....

I love you,

K
