My family has gotten some more bad news again today.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a thread about my cousin who was beaten to death. To add to his family's pain, his mother (my mother's youngest sister) fell last night and hitting her head. She now in a coma and has been on life support since last night. This is a lot to endure for any family, but to have this happen within 2 weeks is overwhelming for anyone to handle.

Any one such thing is bad enough, but to have them so close together is nearly unimaginable.

Remember that the DU community is thinking about you and offering whatever comfort it can.

So much has been said already that there's nothing for me to add. Just know there are people you don't even know who are thinking about your welfare, the health of your loved one and who wish you peace.
