It's Too Much Right Now.

[NarcSis]

I just received word that my cousins husband was found dead of an apparent heart attack, he was in his late 50s.

To top that off, he'd just come from the funeral of his friend, a former partner of my dad and our neighbor growing up.

I was also told that another of my cousins had a post surgical heart attack this afternoon (she's the sister in law of the dead man). Everything all at once.

He will be the third sudden death this week back home and the fourth this month. I may not have been close to them all but hearing these things when you're away from home, it's really hard to take, we're a small tight knit community.

I'm in shock. I don't really know how to feel. Too much for me to handle right now.

I am so sorry. (((Hugs))) I wish there was more I could do. I come from a small community where someone living 10 miles away is considered a neighbour. Every loss is felt by so many and so many losses in such a short time is unthinkable. I will be praying for you, your family and your home.

Sorry to hear you are going through this Medic. Condolences and sympathy to you and yours.

It has been a lot to take in Medic in such a short space of time. Give yourself time to heal and grieve. Don't fight the feelings but accept the stages of grief.

hugs
Saffy :)

Oh Medic, I'm so sorry, I can only give you hugs and prayers, if that's ok. It never rains it pours. :( The others are right, take care of yourself.

(((Medic))) try and take some time for yourself. I am sorry for what is happening.

Oh eegads Medic. I am so sorry. That is alot to handle. I am so sorry for all the losses. Take care of you.

I want to go away and be alone - just get some "down time" you know?
Do something completely for me, completely away from everything and totally distracting.

I just need to reconnect with my inner peace. I wish I knew of a good (and affordable) wilderness retreat.

I need some peace and quiet.

I'm so sorry. It must be so hard for you! Are you able to do anything to get some peace and quiet? I go into my room for a few hours a day to relax and not have to talk or do anything and it helps. I know that is nothing like what you're wanting but it might help a tiny bit.

I am sorry to hear that Medic. *hug* and please accept my condolences.

Medic, prayers on your behalf and hope you can find some comfort. I am sorry for so many losses in such a short period of time.

Medic, very sorry for your loss. In mid life the losses begin to accellerate. My condolences for his family.
