I feel for you, my friend. My father in law passed a couple weeks ago, the week before it was a 19 year old adopted son of my wife's cousin who was killed in a car crash, the week before, my uncle who I hadn't seen in 17 years.
In 2013, we attended three other funerals, one for a baby that was only two hours old. He died in my wife's arms as they all prayed.
Last week, I had a custody case for my two boys to get them out of a dangerous situation.....lost temporary custody because the court saw no "imminent danger" before the final court date, and my 13 year old son ran away from his mom's house and lived for a couple days in a runaway shelter in the city.....and he couldn't live here or I'd be in contempt of court. Brave kid.
Trials happen in life, my God do they happen, but in the worst of times all you can do is grab on to little bits of joy whenever they come your way. I stopped part way through a Predicta Holiday chassis when things started to get really bad here, and I'm going to pick up the soldering iron today if I get time. Our hobbies are an escape, and we all need to escape....for just a little while.
I'll keep you in my prayers.....we all need them.
