Bren,
Being immersed in those rituals is important in the long run...could have used you in the kitchen yesterday cooking...but it's time to put that - and other things - on hold for while, while you grievewe all go through thissooner or later

Hi Bren,
 
I am so sorry for your family's loss and for everything you had to go through. I hope your husband gets well soon. Please keep us updated on how your family is doing. 
 
You have a lot of other things to focus on right now but don't forget about self care. Burning yourself out will not be good for anyone.  Try to remember to care for yourself while you are so busy caring for others.  We are here to listen whenever you need us.
 
Take care,

Bren,

I am praying for the families as you've asked.  Very sorry to know that this is such a challenging week for so many. 
 
Debora, my thoughts are with you today as well.
 
I pray for peace in both of your hearts.

Dear Bren,
 
I am so sorry for you're loss. I hope you daughter is doing alright, a sudden death is so shocking and unexpected, I experienced this both with my Mother and Father, that was wonderful how you helped out please get some rest and sleep.
 
I am glad you're husband is doing good, going to ER was a good thing, my husband has diabeties and has sugar problems his gets too low he take medication for it I was relieved to hear you're husband is doing fine. I will most definately say prayers for you're family for strength and help, I do believe in the power of prayer. I hope you are sleeping now and getting good rest.
 
Death is terrrible I know, its my biggest fear and phobia and I think its the one thing, other than fear of sickness that keeps me from recovering, today is the second anniversary of my Dad's death, it too was sudden so I know what you are feeling, my condolsences to you're entire family. I know that drained tired feeling well, I hope as I write this you are sleeping peacefully.

This week has been a bad week for me..my husband has been ill,and i had to rush him to er tuesday night as his sugar was way to high!
Then to his doctor the next day..he is ok for now..but this evening about 3pm,my daughter called crying and so upset.her husbands father died suddenly,and we went to the house and cleaned and cooked for my grandchildren...iam drained emotionally,and very down right now...please say a prayer for the families loss...thank you
Bren
