Wow, that's rough. Naturally, you're going to feel stressed given the circumstances. The best you can do is try to handle each issue as it comes, day by day. Don't let the whole overwhelm you. To combat stress, get some exercise and give yourself some quiet time to sort things out or to just relax for a second. And, as always, with time, these things will pass.

My thoughts with you and your loved ones.

Hey Rufio,
Sounds like you should be stressed, it's natural with the amount of problems you're facing. Just deal with it like you are.. like a man :beer:
If you're at work, drive home carefully tonite, you sound really distracted and stressed, keep your mind on the road.
Get home, have a nice meal and a beer :) and hopefully things will get better !

Take it one step at a time. Some things are out of your hands, other things will work themselves out.

You're problem is that you care too much.

My grandmother just had a heart attack and went into the hospital for a quad-bypass. Do you see me whining? No. It's because I really don't care. She'll either die or she'll live. Nothing I can do about it.

It's nice that you want to help with all the problems and be Superman. Even Superman, though was not perfect. You can let yourself be overwhelmed or you'll end up like Superman with a ton of kryptonite around. When problems like that arise, it can feel (to me anyway) like things speed up. Things can be a blur and feel like they go by too fast to do anything about.

It's ok to cry. It's ok to feel the way you do.
