Is March over yet???

Its been a long week and an even longer month. I feel as though all I have done since March 5 is cry and unfortunately I am not too far off the mark. I am done with death and funerals for a very long time. It all started with my great uncle's death on February 25 and ended with my sister's mother in law's funeral today. A whole month of death, funerals and crying and I am DONE!!!! I know everything happens for a reason and GOD takes you when its your time and only gives you what you can handle but I am at my breaking point. I cannot handle another death so close to me. It broke my heart today to see my nieces cry and tell me how much they miss their mom mom. My sister told me she hopes we aren't in the same position as my brother in law for a VERY long time and I agree. I have so many emotions right now and I am mentally and emotionally exhausted. I can not honestly tell you the last night I actually slept good, let alone the last day I didn't end my day sobbing uncontrollably. Listening to my brother in law speak about his mother today was heartbreaking, it took him a few minutes to gain his composure and that is when I lost it. I tried so hard to be strong for my sister and nieces but it was difficult. I am praying for strength to get me through this very difficult time. I know I will make it but it will take some time.

I do have some good news though...ONE MONTH from today is my very last day of grad school. I will have some things to finish up before graduation but then I will be officially done!!! Can you believe it?? I can't believe its almost here! I do have a very busy month ahead with exams, certifications and papers to finish but the light is getting brighter at the end of the tunnel!! Another good thing, one of my intern projects involves interviewing people participating in programs within the Childhood Obesity Prevention Demonstration Project. After the interviews, I have been writing success stories to show the legislature the success of this project since October 2008 and 2 of my stories are online. Follow the link below to read:
