Aphrael,

I know almost entirely what you're going through. Sometimes it
seems like it never rains but it pours.

You are in my prayers for comfort and peace for your family in
this time of emotional intensity. If you need anything, even if
it's just an ear to vent, let me know.

Tristaan

"When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and
the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will
come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."" 1 Cor 15:54

A good thought ( not an original one but a very good one) :

May Spirit satisfy you
With the water of grace.

The love and affection of the sun be to you,
The love and affection of the moon be to you,
Each day and night of your lives,
To keep you from haters, to keep you from harmers,
to keep you from oppressors.

Excellence of women be upon you,
Excellence of men be upon you,
Excellence of lover be upon you,
Excellence of dells be upon you,
Excellence of hollows be upon you,
Excellence of travel be upon you,
Excellence of small town be upon you,
Excellence of beauty be upon you,
Excellence of day and night be upon you.

Power of raven be thine,
Power of eagle be thine,
Power of storm be thine,
Power of moon be thine,
Power of sun.

Power of sea be thine,
Power of land be thine,
Power of heaven.

Each day be joyous to thee,
No day be grievous to thee,
Honor and compassion.

The strong help of the serpent be thine,
The strong help of fire be thine,
The strong help of the graces be thine.

Joy of night and day be thine,
Joy of sun and moon be thine,
Joy of men and women be thine,
Each land and sea thou goest,
Each land and sea thou goest.

May the sun bless you,
May the moon bless you,
And I myself bless you
Be you blest.

Blessed be.
