Run of bad luck, Can things change or am I cursed forever?

I've had a run of bad luck over the past few years. It's constant Illnesses of various family members. A stressful house move that fell through at one point. Unemployment now just been made redundant. Has anyone else had constant bad luck and then things changed for the better? How did it change? I'm just trying to cheer myself up with some positive stories or just a hand hold.

Sorry not a positive story but one in solidarity. In the space of a few years I've lost everything. Just can't catch a break. I've always been hopeful and proactive but I just don't see any way of turning this around. Hoping there are some posters with cheerier tales!

We are in our third year of dreadful luck. But, I keep thinking about the positives that we also have, the wonderful moments in-between. It's been a shit show (and I do mean shit show) but I try to focus on the goodness and happy moments and try and keep thinking about how one day, it won't be a shit show and work towards that. Not helpful I know, but you're not alone. It will change one day. It's just circumstances. These things happen. This too shall pass and all that. knuckle bump in solidarity

The positives are what I'm trying to focus on wonderful dh and dc's nice home. Being jobless can but pressure on these people and possibly loose us our lovely home too. Thank you both for responding it does feel lonely, you end up avoiding people or lying about your situation to people as you don't want them to think, oh here we go again more bad news. The cycle has to change though it can't always be bad luck.
