Patty,

Our deepest sympathies for all you've gone through lately. Our heart aches along w/ yours as we're not even a month past losing our mother. The pain keeps morphing as the weeks are passing slowly. Keep faith.

Take extra gentle care of yourself for a good long while please. Many kind folks have been on the lookout for our well being and have helped avert mistakes made while grieving and exhausted. Loss is never easy whether expected or not. You have done so much...now try to allow others to assist you and let you rest up.

kindly,
zh
