Deaths and Other Bad News

[loracs]

First, let me say none of the following is about me, but have happened to my co-workers, friends and family in the last two days - worlds have turned in a mere 48 hours.

Father's death in Wisconsin
Cousin's death in Las Vegas
A continent and a ocean away, a brother's death in Ethiopia
A diagnosis of a chronic and painful disease
A possible loss of a job because one big company ate another one
A Sunday night ER visit ending in a two day (and counting) hospital stay.
A confirmation that an 18 year old young man will leave his family in a week for four years in the army
The first of several co-workers received the news she will be laid-off as of Aug. 22

I'm walking through wall after wall of sadness.  I need a little space before the next block slides into place.  Please.

It's miserable, isn't it? Take care of yourself.

*hugs* I'm glad that the people going through these things have you there to care for them, but I hope it doesn't take an unbearable toll on you. May you soon be surrounded by your own and others' happy news, instead.

yikes!

those one or two degrees of separation can get mighty porous.

I want to carpool with you on the 30th (appropos of nothing).

here's some dobie kisses in the meantime.
