Taking Time for Grieving · 9:22pm May 23rd, 2022

So, if you don't remember me telling you guys this, last year, shortly before Christmas, my five-year-old niece lost her battle with cancer. My brother and sister in-law were going to bring her to our house, so it would have been the first time I had seen her since she was a newborn. Naturally, my family was heartbroken when we learned she passed away. We had our grieving and got support from our friends, and I got support and comfort from you guys. Sometime in late January or early February, my brother called us and told us good news, they were expecting their second child. Of course, we knew the second child wouldn't replace my niece, but we were still overjoyed. Sadly, about a week or two ago, my brother called us again, with bad news. My sister in-law got jumped by a mugger, and while she was defending herself, she was punched in the stomach. The punch caused her to miscarry a few days later. This is the second tragedy we've been through in a matter of months. And while I won't forgive him, the mugger expressed his own grief and guilt when he realized he caused my sister in-law to miscarry. It doesn't fix things, but at least he understands the tragedy he's put us through. So of course, I'm going to be taking a break for a while in order to comfort my brother and sister in-law, as well as grieve myself. I've never been good with emotions, but that doesn't mean I don't have them. I'm in a lot of emotional pain because of this, and any support/comfort you guys can offer is much appreciated
