I need some e-hugs (long)

My FIL passed away last Monday and things have been total chaos over the last week.

He was admitted to the hospital last Saturday and when DH and I went to go visit him, they told us that he wasn't going to recover and that his children had to make medical decisions on his behalf.  We were stunned because DH and his siblings didn't have a very close relationship with their father and had no idea what to do.  There was no life insurance, no will...nothing.  Everyone just had to guess what he wanted and hope that the right decisions were being made.

We were in the room when he passed..it was one of the worst experiences of my entire life...watching someone die.  DH is having a hard time with FIL's death...guilt, anger, grief....there are just so many emotions right now.

DH and I were supposed to run a 5K over the weekend - we ended up quitting halfway through despite having fantastic times.  Neither one of us could mentally do it.  I ended up walking through the finish line feeling like a complete failure because I gave up when I was doing so well.

Last night, we were sitting in the sh!tstorm known as our house and I noticed that DS felt warm.  We took his temp and he has a fever of around 102 degrees.  We were up all night with him.  I got up this morning and now I am sick too. 

Oh, and my work computer has a virus.  I was listening to some incredibly depressing music - Radiohead - and the stupid computer had a melt down.  I called tech support, but it didn't work.  I am just too frustrated, exhausted and sad to call back. 

:::sigh::: I hate to whine, but this past week has just totally sucked.  I need a freaking hug and a large helping of some comfort food....something like pancakes or ice cream.

That is definitely a rotten week, and qualifies for some junk food for sure. Sorry mama! :hugs:

Sorry about you and your DH's loss. My DH watched his BIL pass away a couple of years ago, I know it is a horrible experience. Don't worry about the run, if you were not up to it, you shouldn't feel bad about it. There will be many other opportunities to run 5K in the future. (way to go btw, wish I was a runner, I can run for about 10 min :-) Sending lots of hugs and healthy vibes to your DS and you. LOs get sick all the time, DD just got over a virus that gave her 3 day fever of around 102. Enjoy your ice cream with pancakes!
