Too Much

I can't believe the things that are happening in my life, the people I am losing.  I know it's not about me.  I'm sounding like a cry baby.  Three years ago my husband of 38 years died unexpectedly.  Less than a month ago my mother died suddenly, and my younger sister  lost her battle with cancer.   Now, my younger brother is fighting a very serious, possibly terminal, illness.  Why does it all hit at once?  How are you supposed to keep picking yourself up, time after time, when so many people you love are suffering and dying?  I'm in need of some wisdom tonight.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection.
