When it rains it pours! I just found out today that a very close friend's husband died suddenly. He was in his mid 50's, retired Army, not sick...I don't really know what happened. Her sister left me a voice mail & asked that I wait a few days to call. I feel like an emotional wreck with everything piling up & I feel guilty for feeling overwhelmed myself, when I can't even imagine what she must be going through. I turned to my trusty, stand by, sure fire therapy....cooking. I made a big pot of home made spaghetti sauce & 6 loaves of different sweet bread. I'm going to box it all up with a card & drop it off on her front porch. That way I can kinda help, without intruding.

This just sucks! Between my emotions & my physical pain, I haven't slept yet (5:30 a.m. Texas time). Eventually my pain meds will kick in enough to let me have an hour or two. I'm just so glad I have all of you to talk to.

You can understand how people can turn to drugs or alcohol, when the pain is just so relentless, and coming in from every angle. I'm sorry you are dealing with so much. The universe is grooming you to be a load bearer for some reason. I am sure being exhausted on top of it all just makes things so much worse. I am pulling for you. Hang in there.
