Wow, Leena, sometimes life sucks!! In some ways (important ways) your post sums up life - good things (daughter engaged to very good young man) and bad things (father dying while you are in hospital) happen at the same time. It really isn't fair to have so many stressful things happening to one person (or family). Definitely too much!!

Again, there is a completeness - the next generation (your daughter) is getting on w/her life while her grandfather's life is ending. Congratulations on your daughter's engagement!! And a hug for you for all the horrible things that have happened!

I admire your attitude! It is very insightful to realize that life is still good when so many awful things are happening to you! You will survive and life is good! Hang in there! Candace
