I am exhausted

[kimmer]

I'm mostly a lurker, and don't know the whole story, but I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts are with you and your family. I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but your husband, and your IL's, are very lucky to have you.

[jamich]

I am so sorry you all are having to go through this
(((hugs)))

[alzi]

I just want to hug YOU and let you have your turn to not be the strong one.

I am so so sorry you guys are going through this.

[CurlyQ284]

I'm so sorry Mekia. You're being so strong and I'm sure DH, MIL, and BIL appreciate your support.

I don't post often but have been following your story. I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this. I cannot even imagine how difficult it must be. You are being very supportive to those around you, please make sure to take care of yourself.

[2boys2danes]

Super big giant hugs to you Mekia! It wont seem like its possible not but every day will get just a little bit easier although there will still be some very hard days ahead. You have shown beautiful grace during this really difficult time.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. FWIW, it sounds like you are doing a really great job of being strong and supportive for your H. You will make it through this.

[vicky]

((Mekiakoo)) You're so brave and strong. I keep wishing I had the right words to tell you. I just want everything to be all better. If you need anything at all, please let me know and I will try to make it happen.

Im so sorry our family is going through this. My brother committed suicide and it's such a roller coaster of emotions for awhile. I know you said you didn't want to celebrate your birthdays but it might be good for MIL to take her mind off things even for an hour. When my brother died I appericated my friends doing small stuff that didnt have to do with my brothers death. Your a wonderful wife, DIL and SIL for everything your doing. take care (((hugs))))

[adeledog]

I'm so sorry for everything you're going through right now. You are so strong, even if it doesn't feel like it. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please take good care of you.

[mishap]

I am so sorry. You are being amazingly strong.

Meika i am tearing up for you. I am so sorry. You have been in my thoughts and prayers this whole time.

Dont feel repetitive here. We are all here for you. I wish we could all physically rally around you but we are still here.

You are amazing and your family is lucky to have you.

[underwaterrhymes]

((hugs))

You are being so strong for everyone, but please don't forget it's okay for you to do a little leaning too.

[thebamker]

I feel like crying for you. This is so hard and you are doing an AMAZING job for your family.

I think it's incredibly sweet that MIL made bday cake for you guys. in fact, she probably wants to think about ANYTHING but this. It would be kind of you to let her, even though you'll feel silly/selfish for doing so.

and don't you dare feel bad for posting. We are here for you.

[TrickyBob]

Oh honey you are being so amazing through all of this. My heart breaks for everyone, for him, his family, and for you.

[murdock]

Mekia, you're being so strong for your husband and family, and enduring a really hard road.

I'm so sorry for what you're all going through.

[Deleted]

((hugs)) you are an amazing wife and SIL and DIL. I'm so so sorry you all have to go through this, thank God that you have each other to lean on. T&P Take care of yourself.

[gretchenindisguise]

You are being simply amazing through this completely unimaginable situation.

BIL is delayed right? I want to say he has down syndrome, but I don't know if that is right. If I'm remembering correctly, make sure to get with one of his specialists and let them know. His grieving pattern will likely look a lot different than an adults and that's totally normal and ok. But dealing with it can be difficult. Please please please utilize all of the support you can without feeling embarrassed.

[janiejones]

Sending you huge hugs.

I'm so sorry, mekia.

Yeah, BIL has down syndrome and he has the mind of a six year old. He has been acting normal, all giddy that there are people visiting. He doesn't seem to understand why they are here.

Older BIL is encouraging H to go ice fishing with the boys today. I'm trying to push him to go. His best friend flew in from California and there may be 5 of them going fishing today. H wants to sit and be sad though. I mean I know its okay to be sad and cry for a while but it will do him good if he also does some fun things, especially with his brothers, right?

Yes tell him to go! It will be good for him to go do something with his brothers. Can you go pick him up if he's just having a horrible time (just incase)

[piaffe]

Hugs. I've been praying for you all.

[AlpineSlide]

So sorry for your loss and everyone's struggles. You are doing a great job being strong, they are lucky to have you. Please take care of yourself too. Hugs.

[Deleted]

I am so sorry you are going through this. My heart aches for you and your family.

You are doing great. And please do not worry about only talking about this on here. We are here for you. If this is what keeps things sane for you, it's okay.

We love you!

[angelaa73]

I am so sorry for the pain he put everyone through. I hope everyone can find peace quickly. Take care

[kcr1972]

Mekiakoo you are a strong and amazing woman. I have been thinking about this a lot and worrying about you and your family. I will keep praying for you!
