So many kind comments, isn't the blogging community AWESOME!? Please know you are in my thoughts and DO take time for yourself...your readers LOVE you and love hearing you are human. People can relate to the human element (even tho I know we both think we're superheroines!!), sometimes we gotta just step into what IS for the moment and walk thru it. It makes us stronger business people, women and bloggers. Be well and get some rest and family fuel!! xo, Kam Wendy~

It may be a cliche, but it is borne out of truth and the experience of everyone who has journeyed through grief and the natural state of overwhelm that you and your family are going through right now. You, my dear, are clearly what my beloved grandmother called the "i-t, IT" of your family...the glue and connection that binds the hurt and overwhelm enough to help your loved ones heal and survive these losses. And healing happens in its own time and rhythm. Just keep taking care of yourself through all of this--and the pieces of whatever you fear are left hanging will fall right back into place. Hang in there. One day at a time.

Please take time out for your family and for yourself. That is the way it should be. You're doing an awesome job. Don't feel guilty for taking some time away from work and other responsibilities. I hope and pray that you find balance and that you and your family pull together and make it through the coming weeks stronger than ever. Hugs. Wendy:

I’ve been struggling with that one a little bit myself of late. Its sounds like you are doing a wonderful job of taking stock, making decisions, and doing what you need to. My belief is that compassion is doing what needs to be done. To me, you have that one nailed. My thoughts are with you and yours… Wendy – Balance is often the most difficult task to manage.

Sometimes, business and busyness take over and we somhow forget to laugh and cry with the ones who mean the most to us. We are so sorry to hear about your loss and we want you to know that we are praying for you and your family. I am speaking for just me but I bet I have a lot of agreement form others when I tell you hat I expect of you in the next week... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! Relax, cry, and hold onto the ones you love this week. I was in your shoes not to many years ago and had to just tell my unforgiving boss to get over it. Your boss likes you alot more than mine did as I didn't work for myself :) Looking forward to hearing that your family is doing well and is able to laugh again. Take care.
