We must make sure that we are a good steward of the days the MOST HIGH has given us on the land, the ability to think, and the gift of connection the MOST HIGH has given us It is nothing wrong from time to time to just take a day off, close the bed room door, or turn off the phone.
For at the end of the day when you are no longer available and the grieving process is complete they will all have to find a way to continue on. So why not let them learn that with you around.

STRESS
Stress is what you feel when you have to handle more than you are used to. When you are stressed, your body responds as though you are in danger. It makes hormones that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy. This is called the fight-or-flight stress response.
Some stress is normal and even useful. Stress can help if you need to work hard or react quickly. For example, it can help you win a race or finish an important job on time.
But if stress happens too often or lasts too long, it can have bad effects. It can be linked to headaches, an upset stomach, back pain, and trouble sleeping. It can weaken your immune system, making it harder to fight off disease. If
you already have a health problem, stress may make it worse. It can make you moody, tense, or depressed. Your relationships may suffer, and you may not do well at work or school.
Stress can cause you to have heart attacks, strokes along with panic attacks.
It is also the #1 killer of women beating out the #3 killer cancer.
Spiritually Encouraged
Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Testimonals
God does provide I am a living testament to that. I have been down and he has lifted me up.. I have been out and he has brought me back in.. I was lost and he showed me the way.. God is good to me even though he allow storms and trials.. I would not trade my God for any other god on the earth. Broke my foot and he healed it, was off work but my bills still got paid, and when my sugar shot up he lowered it allowing a simple pill to help me. God is good not because my life is so perfect but because when I need him he shows up. [Mary of SC]
My physical mother left me but later God gave me real parents. My spiritual mother deserted me but later God allowed another to embrace me. I have been abandoned one way or another by man but I am learning that God never has. I right now reside in the home of the Apostles and here I was introduced to peace, acceptance, and laughter. I know what I have learned here I will be able to take with me as I return back from where I have come from. I know that I am a stronger man for meeting them both as well as the other lady they are attending. If I never see them again I know I will never forget what they have shown me, what they have shared with me, and how they have encouraged me to grow.
