Overwhelmed

It's very easy to get overwhelmed with things. This semester has flown by. I kept telling myself everything would be okay and now it's almost the end of the semester and I'm worried about everything. Two weeks ago my uncle took his life and it has been incredibly hard to get over. I can't understand it. I want to understand it. I know I never will, but I just have to understand things. I can't go without understanding. My family has held together and tried to move on. We were doing good until this Sunday we get a call stating that my great aunt passed away. She had recently had a surgery and wasn't allowed to travel for two weeks, so she wasn't able to go to the funeral for Uncle Chris. She wasn't having any trouble after, and she didn't complain of any pain. She just said she was tired. Unfortunately, she a blood clot passed through her lungs and she didn't make it. She was a great lady and will always be remembered. I know she'll be in Heaven with Uncle Chris and they can joke and play like always. It's still tough, especially so close to the end of the semester. It seems like as soon as I was getting back on my feet, something threw me to the ground again. Hopefully everything will get better soon enough. As a family, we will make it through. That's all I can ask for and that is what I am grateful for. Family and friends who help me when I need it. Okay, enough of my sadness. The light will continue to shine. =]
