Dear Dr. Meg,

I am desperate for advice. I will try to make it quick. In a nutshell, I am a devout catholic, mother of four and happily married to a wonderful man. For the past 8 1/2 years I have walked hand-in-hand with my sister through many trials such a her husband’s brain tumor, job loss, his addiction, his affair, and lastly his suicide in which he left her and four kids. Now I walk with her through her grief, her sadness & loneliness, her aftermath of an unhealthy relationship with her late husband and her online dating.  I am haunted by the suicide every time I go back to the family farm where my sister & dad found him dead. I feel I have a good head on my shoulders and a strong faith, but feel very foggy and am out of energy. Amongst all that, we’ve lost my mother-in-law this past year & now my dad has cancer.

What should I do?

I’m going to talk to my priest but feel I need counseling from all of this. I want to give 150% to my family but feel this weighs me down. Any words of wisdom would be…
