Please take care of you and your family during this difficult time. Sending you love and prayers to get through this! Please take your time. Your content and wisdom is great, and we love it, but we all understand that there are much more important things for you to focus on right now.

I can't imagine a single person would expect your time, energy and attention to be anywhere but with your family right now. Sending so much love to you in this deeply difficult time. Full permission to push pause on anything that doesn't allow you to be fully present for yourself and your husband.

I'm in Hanover, so we've been stuck in the water debacle too. But that pales in comparison to what you are going through with your family. Please know that your adoring fans in this community want you to take the space you need right now. You've given us so much over the years - I can't imagine a single one of us begrudging you the time you need in this moment. I'm just across town and wish there was more I could do for you - reach out to your MW community if there are practical needs we can help you with! You have my heartfelt love and prayers during this painful time. Put yourself and your family first.

Oh, Rebekah. My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time. Having lost my sister to this dreadful disease, I hate to think of you or anyone else going through this. Please know that you’re covered in prayers as you walk through this time of grief and loss.
