Oh Kimberly... I'm praying and I'm praying hard. You've been through so much lately  and I can't begin to imagine how scared you must be right now.  You're probably asleep by now, at least I hope you're trying to get some sleep, but just in case you're not and you see this, I'm going to send you a personal note with my phone number.  I'm serious in telling you that you can call me tonight if you want someone to talk to.  Take care of YOU!

Lots of love and hugs,
Connie

My daughter is home for a visit - a difficult one - but she shared something with me last night that might help, my dear, dear friend.  She said when she feels overwhelmed, she sits quietly for a few minutes in a place where she knows she won't be disturbed. And she closes her eyes and puts her left hand over her heart; and she extends her right arm, with her palm facing forward, out in front of her - and the gesture provides a sense of personal energy, the message being: with my left hand over my heart, I am embracing self-care and telling myself that I will get through this; with my right hand extended in front of me, I am telling the negative forces that are trying to take over - that they have no place here - I am strong and will defeat you.  Jillian says this helps her. Kim, you have my heart and my strength today in my strongest prayers for your husband, for you, and for your family. Love to you, Maureen
