Well I'm still logging in daily but only a small portion of my food is actually getting logged. I had a coworker (who was 28) pass away Monday and his viewing on Friday. Friday morning I pulled something in my back by Friday evening I was in a lot of pain ( I did make it to the viewing though). Didn't get any sleep Friday night into Saturday. My back got worse and I couldn't move at all with out crying out in pain so I had to miss work yesterday, and then while i'm in excruciating pain my ex sister in law calls and tells me my cousin (who was 39) passed away unexpectedly! Now I'm waiting for arrangements on that death! Not really looking for sympathy but sometimes you just have to get things out in a public way so thanks if you read this and thought about me or said a little prayer. My back is a little better today but I think I'm gonna take it easy today so as not to hurt it even more!

    Emotional and physical pain all at once will be overwhelming. Take your time to do the "work" it will take to heal both emotionally and physically because if you don't the consequences can be devastating. I wish you continued healing and peace during this difficult time.

    I'm sorry things are so tough for you at the minute. Two untimely deaths so close together must feel just dreadful. I hope that you can find a moment to just breathe and look after yourself.

    I am so sorry for loss. I believe that it is helpful for you to share it and get support. While I am nurse and have seen and experienced a lot death in my many years, I have not (yet) lost anyone close to me. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Shana

    It always seems that bad things come in groups of three. I am sorry to hear about these people in your life, and glad to hear your back is getting better. Deal with these things as much as you need and come back to MFP when you are ready.

    Best of luck to you!
