Your Candle burned out long before.....

Your Legend ever will"

FM VICTIMS- A Website in Memory of Suicide Victims of Fibromyalgia....

Jan Murphey

1956-1997

Jan Murphey commited suicide last summer because she could no longer live with a disease/illness that many doctors still do not believe exists....

"Please do not think of this as suicide " she wrote, "But as a self-deliverance from a life that became too unbearable to live."

"When you start hearing there is no hope, no treatment and no cure, over and over, You lose your will to fight" Murphy wrote in a eulogy that was read at her funeral. "What most people saw of me was a shell of what was going on inside."

-Jan Murphy, 1997

"Bread cast on the waters comes back to you.

The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time.

If you never see the deed again , at least you will have made the world a better place- And after all; Isn't that what life's all about?"

"The hardest thing to learn in life is...

Which bridge to cross and which to burn."

For All MY FRIENDS!!!

* My Prayer, My Friends *

Will my life ever be happy and free?

Will I be able to see beyound the trees?

Am I here to suffer as others may do?

So I can help them, support and see?

My Life is full of disappointments and grief,

Will I ever be free, Lord?

From this pain filled life of mine?

Or will it steal my life like a theif?

I have faith in you Lord always,

But sometimes the Cross gets hard to bear,

Help me Lord to walk in your word,

Help me Lord to show others I care!

Lead me and guide me, My God I ask thee,

Help me help someone else in need.

Show me Lord What I need to do

Help me Lord, To plant your seed!

I'm not much Lord, But here I am!

Give me the Wisdom and show me how,

To help all others who are burdened in Pain,

If you would Please Lord, Just let me allow,

To help a friend, thats hurt and in pain,

Please Lord give me the right thing to say,

To help them endure this burden they bear,

And show them the light of your Heavenly way!

Bless all of you that hurt and cry,

I've prayed to my God, My Lord

And ask him please if He would

Take up your cross and bear it he would.

Fear not my friends, for My Lord has said,

That he would protect you and all that you need,

He will love you as no other can!

I grant you this, My Lord his Creed!

- Aloma S Patrick / March 2004

A personal poem I wrote

Just for my Friends in Pain.....

Will My life ever be happy and free?

Will I be able to see beyond the grief?

Am I here to suffer as others may do?

Help them to this journey through?

My Life is full of disappointments

and pain

Am I here to suffer, with nothing to gain?

Will we ever be free of this life of woe?

How long shall we have this journey to go?

I know not why, we have this burden to bear?

All I know , is for the others I care!

Maybe they don't know you, as I do

Show me how..I can help them thru.

Is this a burden or a prize I ask?

Have you given me a special task?

To be to others what I've never had?

A heartfull of love, to uplift the sad?

I know my heart breaks for all in pain

I ask of you, not let it be in vain.

Help me , help others who are weaker than I

Hold them close in my bossom while they cry.

Help me Lord to guide the weak

put upon my tongue the words to speak

Console the hurt, and wipe the tears

Help me Help them calm their fears.

Someday I know when this world is gone

We the hurt will sing a new song

We'll hurt no more, and happy we'll be

Walking with you lord, my God In Thee.
