my mom passed away april 17th and tonight my close cousin Bonnie's mom passed. She helped me thru my hard times and now I have to help her. I dont know how much more we can take.
I havent been on much, my tanks all need a good cleaning, but its hard enough taking care of my family. I have been on reading a few threads, but thats about it. I am close to getting rid of my 150 gal, I dont know, One Day at a Time

I'll add you to our prayers, if you don't mind. Wish there were something I could say to make you feel better. Hang in there and know that we're here for you if you need to talk.

thinking and praying for you. Believe it or not, you will come through this. It probably doesn't seem like it, but day by day we do. Just when things got bad for me (caring for my mom, grandparent, their homes, my kids, family etc) I looked at my husband and kids and all that I have in each other and I made it to the next day etc. Don't let the stress consume you, extra stress can be a bad thing, trust me. Your body has ways of telling you.
Take a breath and time for yourself, even if its just a little

Hey T,
I noticed you haven't been around much lately and I've been thinking about you and praying all was well. Sorry to hear you about your troubles. You are right. All you can do is take it one day(or one moment) at a time.
I know when my sister died, I couldn't believe the world just kept continueing on. I know it's cliche, but time does heal all wounds. Hold on to the good memories and know she is at peace. You can talk to her! It's been 12 years and I still talk to my sister. (no, not crazy, she doesn't talk back, lol)
Anyway, as the saying goes, make a knot and hang on. Know you are in our thoughts and prayers and keep us posted when you can.

Hang in there. When my son was murdered my wife and I wondered what life was gonna hand us next. Life will never get back to the normal you once knew, it will be a new normal and will be what you make of it.
Time will do what time does and you will survive this.
Thinking of you.

You got a pretty nice family there to lean on. It will be OK. I have went through 2 episodes of multiple losses of family and friends, first surrounding my dad and 3 other immediate family members within 3 years then my mom and last 2 of the "older" generation of the family within 2 years a decade later. Both were real knockout punches but it does get easier as time goes on. Hang in there.
