I normally don't do this but this past year has really kicked my family's butt. My MIL was diagnosed with cancer and died, my husband and I placed his mentally retarded sister in a group home, cleaned out and sold her home of 47 years and just settled a somewhat contentious estate.
All the while, my parent's health has been failing and since November I have been in and out of hospitals with them.
This past week my father's health has suffered what appears to be a fatal blow. I've had to have some really difficult discussions with my parents regarding what he does and does not want, all the while trying to work and be there for my kids.
I guess I'm just asking for any prayers or good thoughts you may have to spare. The though of my kids losing two grandparents in a year is just sometimes to much to bear.
