Holding us all in the living, loving Light.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers - as I just said to someone in a PM to an old social work-y type like me it is fascinating to watch the group dynamics and at times getting to play the big bad guy.

Some twenty months ago, I asked for prayers for my friends' son, J, who was severely injured in an accident: http://forum.ship-of-fools.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=70;t=021224;p=20#000999
Sadly, after a long struggle with head trauma and complications including many infections, and finally pneumonia, he has entered into heavenly rest. Prayers appreciated for his family, struggling with "why?" - J was only 40.
Thanks,
TEB

Praying over each post
I pray for all those bereaved, especially for those grieving for Gilbert, my dear grandad, who died earlier this year
I've had a cold and went back to work too soon and lost my voice. Still struggling to throw off the infection. I know if I go in tomorrow I will lose my voice again. Please pray that I learn that I am not indispensible, and that any guilt I feel is just a bi-product of pride ![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif)

For all.
For A and her baby. The child evidently came full term, but is now in neonatal care. This was an unexpected pregnancy, but the young lady has been squaring her shoulders to prepare to both work at and enjoy motherhood. No problems that I know of were expected; she had prenatal care. And now this.

I'm fearful of the recurrence of ME. I started taking an SSRI in about 2002 - the ME symptoms disappeared and have been absent since. I've stopped the medication, and am worried that this bad dose of cold is lingering and making me weak in an ME type of way.

Feeling much happier, thanks for all your prayers. Non-means-tested loan has been paid, sent off right evidence for means-tested grant on Monday so hopefully that should be processed and approved soon. Date was awkward but for some reason I want to give him a second chance. Have preliminary DDO meeting today though which is quite nervewracking, and prayers for sleep would be welcomed
