Grief renewed

[JeanR]

This has been a tough week for our family. On Tuesday, Terry's cousin, Joseph, died very suddenly. He was 55 years old and he died just like Terry died. He was talking to his sister in the kitchen, she left the room to make a phone call, when she returned she found him dead on the floor. It has brought everything back and my kids are having a tough time.

Please keep us in prayer as we travel to upstate Pa for the viewing and funeral this weekend.

Jean,
I feel so sorry for you and your family. I will pray for you and your kids.... I can't imagine how this stirs up the storm again and sets the waves to raging.. Just when things had settled down some too. Remember I will be with you in thought and prayer as you struggle through this weekend and the weeks to come.
Missinyou

My kids and I have just returned from cousin Joe's funeral. The viewing was hard last night, but we got through it. The funeral today was beautiful and Joe is now at rest. Please pray for his wife and siblings. It is so hard for them, as we all know it can be.

My uncle Charlie died a few months ago. When we went to his funeral it brought back all my sorrow over my wife's death. I hear that is normal, though.

The kids and I just couldn't believe how exhausted we were when we got home last night. It was a double "first" for us. The first time back upstate where Terry's family is from and the funeral for his cousin.

When we got home everyone just rested; later, we did get something to eat and we were feeling much better than. But, the exhaustion was just so deep.

Today is better. We're having a noreaster, so the weather is on the wild side. Lots of flooding, but so far we are ok. My bathroom ceiling is leaking, but if that's the most we get, I can live with it.
