8. I have no words of comfort because they would sound cheap.

I do have some advice and some words of support though. Firstly, please keep in mind that, right now, you need to remember the four 'no-no' things that you absolutely need to avoid. They are: refined sugar, processed food, alcohol, and caffeine. You mentioned coffee. if you have not, switch to decaf. You are doing yourself no favors by making your system run on overdrive, especially when you have no immediate task at hand. You also need to make sure to keep yourself in mind. Take that walk. Paint that picture. Whatever it takes to give your mind time to relax. You have people around you. Use them. I know, no one gets it. But, we do. You can talk to us here. We listen, which is always the most helpful thing. Please try to take care of yourself even as you deal with all this. This is not the time for 'SuperPerson!', this is the time for slow and steady. You may not want to hear my advice about dealing with family, so I will refrain. Just remember that you are just as important in these things as any other member.
