a very hard week

My 22 year old nephew died on Monday. It was unexpected. He did suffer from seziers for the past 2 years, but had only a 3 from Christmas to now. On Monday he had been at Mass General Hospital to look into having a implant that would have controled this. Monday night he was home and had a sezier as he walked down the stairs. He fell and suffered a critical head wound....It is such a painfull lose. He leaves behind a beautiful little 6 month old daugher named Paige. I wish I could find a way to take away the pain that my brother and sister in law are going through. The WLS part of this is that as I cooked up a bunch of stuff for everyone. I did stop at the store on the way to make sure that I picked up food for myself for the day. It seems to me that I am learning to make eating and food a part of my sub-consious. I did stop exercising. I am not getting enough sleep, so at this point instead of beating myself up over the nots, I know that I am not going to exercise again until next Monday. Thanks for letting my get this out. It does help to write it all down. thanks donna
