As a friend of Lisa, I send my sympathy and joined-sorrow at Nick's passing. It is such a mystery as to why some like you seem to have so much adversity and loss heaped upon you. I know you are a strong person and that you will manage to shoulder the pain and loss. May God send you a powerful sign that you shall indeed weather this storm and that better times are coming. May you experience the kind of peace that supports you along the way.
