Life moves on

Hi Blogworld 

Well I went to my friends wake and funeral.  I was saddened to learn she had been on many medications and possibly knew this was going to happen.  Her husband told me that she was always forgetting to take her meds.  He is feeling guilty over not reminding her more.  They were having serious financial problems and he thinks she didn't want to burden him telling him her dizzy spells were serious.  At the hospital she kept apologizing to him.  He seems so broken, truly is mourning her.  I was amazed at how good he is doing with the boys.  Shelly let the boys run over her big time and he is not.  But he is also very gentle and helping them express thier grief.  I really didn't expect to see that side of him.  I have talked to him a couple of times this week.  He is arranging counseling for the boys and himself.  He is trying to get a better handle on his son's medical problems.  Shelly handled it and got put off  easily by the doctors.  He wants to push for answers and get Jon back in school.  I am keeping careful account to stay in the right boundaries.  I am realizing what a step in and fix it for others I am.  At work,  I am being tempted to take on way more responsibility than I need to.  I want to do everything for everybody and am wearing myself out quickly.   I talked to my boss about a situation unfolding and asked for her help.   It would involve me working Easter.  Not good, I need to be home with my family.  But involving my boss should keep me from over doing it.  Thanks for listening and I really appreaciate the comments.
