I can't sleep because ofthis and also my mother's cancer is metastasizing, the gentlest person I ever knew, who never did a thing wrong in her life. She's so good, like aholy person! I didn't get a job Icoveted for three years and I considered taking a bottle of aspirin lastnight to fight insomnia. I've never been so miserable in my whole life.Please help.

and let some rays of sunlight in!
I am praying the doctor's new treatment will help my Mom,
and striving to match HER (!!!) optimism.

 This has to be very difficult for you. There are many things we face that cause trials in our lives, we're challenged to overcome them. There are many ways of doing it, and building yourself back up. Your mothers sounds like a wonderful person. I'm not going to directly offer you my thoughts on how to build yourself back up. I think you should open up and talk to your mom about how you're having a hard time. With what you've said about her, I bet she can help you with this.

It seems that the world has left you when you most need people. Don't despair. There ARE still good people left. Some people like you who have experienced or are going through similar loss and pain.
Give your boyfriend the COLD SHOULDER. Don't beg him to stay. If you can, focus on YOU for now. To be able to be strong. If he really loves you, he will be back one way or another. Trust me, I went through the same thing.
Build your confidence to find work and to project a nice image to the outside. You soon will believe it, too. That easy. Spend as much time with your mum and love her to the max. Learn from her. BE her.
Hugs, and hope the huge cloud will soon lift up.
