Janie, I know the pain that comes when a loved one departs, especially when that upsets our whole life. My deepest sympathy is given to you, but also the knowledge that God oversees our lives and really does know the beginning from the end for all of us. When the way is difficult or impossible, there is STILL a way. At that time I have to be quiet, and sometimes stop the voice that tries to frighten me with doubts by telling myself that God is powerful, loving, and in charge and he IS THERE FOR ME. Even Bible verses (or the rosary) spoken during the times of doubt are good. Sorry to sound like I'm preaching to you. I love you and care for you. Looking forward to your return to work.
