Brian, Words are all we have sometimes to express our feelings and to help others to deal with theirs. I'll offer you these:
"Only three things matter,
when the bottom's a half step up.
Family, Faith and Friends
are all that fill a broken cup."
Lean on each as needed, and count me amoung the latter.
sincerly, Jack Beery
