heavy heart - secondary and terciary compassion fatigue

My friend's day care worker suffered the worse nightmare... a baby died of pneumonia - believed cause - while in her care

Another friend is a nanny for a family with twin 8 yr old girls and a 4 yr old son. One of the twins died to day from a 2 1/2 week illness - exact illness unknown at this time

A friend of mine is stuck in a rut and struggling with seeing the resources right in front of him to climb out

Another friend is coveting prayers for a co-worker and friend as her husband is in the hospital for chest pains

Had a run in with a bully this week (bully = someone so hurt and afraid they hurt and intimidate others)

Too many friends struggling with financial challenges

too many people living in fear, with out a sense of hope, and feeling alone

God, creator, savior... I can do nothing for these people but lift them up to you and trust in your ways. It will all make sense someday.

Until then, my heart will continue to break and be open to your love and guidance
