I can say that really the only stressors I have in my daily life are financial worries, and the death of my brother which is also a major stressor. The way I can minimize my financial worries is to turn it over and trust in the Lord to supply my needs. I am a devoted christian so I know that He will always supply my needs. There is nothing I can do about my financial situation right now so I is no use to worry and stress about it. As for the death of my brother I experienced this on June 17th, of this year. He was 27 years old and my husband and I raised my brother from when he was fifteen and I was eighteen and my husband was nineteen. He lived with us since 1997 until the present expect for three years. So we were a very close family. My children were raised with him so it has been a huge loss for our family. Our family is no longer complete and never will be the same. It was a very sudden and tragic death. He was murdered. Since his death it has been very hard. My mom and I don't speak anymore, as she didn't even come to his funeral, then proceeded to fight me for his ashes. Also he has a son which I am trying to take care of with social security but he did not get paternity established so it has been very hard as I keep hitting roadblocks. Also with his case the law here has ruled it an accident which is so frustrating. The only way I can deal with all of these stressors is through prayer and knowing that my Lord and Savior will always make a way for my family and I. We are truly blessed each and every day. In regards to my brother it has been very tough in so many ways. Each one of us, my husband, children, and I all deal with it in very different ways but we all know this was the Lord's plan and we know he is in heaven which gives us peace. Everyday is different. It is all so new and I have never lost someone so close to me. He was more then a brother, he was my son and best friend. The holidays are very hard but having God to turn to always makes it that...
