I 2nd your post. I have had to take breaks on occasion because it can become so overwhelming.  I have had to focus on the surety of the Word of God to stay balanced and to avoid being buffeted to and fro by the chaos that has become our norm.  When I feel the world is out of control, I rest easy knowing that God is in control. Sheepdoggie just know there will come a time when all the wrongs will be righted and all the pain and sadness will be gone.  It is really tough to know all that we have discovered over the years but just think about the Footprints in the Sand...sometimes we need to be carried through our sorrows to endure.  You care because you're human and that is a good thing.
