Dear Lovie What Do I Do? W Lovie Weatherby hat do I do when something abnormally horrible happens to my family and seems like my family will implode? These situations ARE HORRIBLE and have the potential of destroying families. It can be anything from death, abuse, or any number of traumas. It is important, in these times, to remember: desperate times call for desperate measures. Surround yourself with dependable, honest support. You and your family will need extra “propping up” to survive this. Seek professional help. When something abnormally horrible happens in our bodies, we seek a specialist. The same is true of abnormal circumstances. Talk, talk, talk with your family members and trusted support. Ignoring the situation and hoping it goes away will only create the perfect recipe for you and your family to be haunted by this forever, especially when there are children (of any age) involved. “Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind; teach us to be patient and always to be kind.” ~Helen Steiner Rice Photo courtesy of Shanyn Silinski 6 www.SaveTheCowboy.com
