this won't mean much coming from me but you don't need to apologize, two years ago my father had a heart-attack and had to go to hospital overnight : he died before either me or my mother could visit the next morning..

family comes over everything, you do what you must to come through it all and you know I'm not one to pray (blame personal beliefs) but I can wish you and your family the best : the universe is a very scary place at times but if we can all at least wish each other well in times of need it doesn't have to stay that way.

Your loved ones are in the safest place they can be and you don't ever feel like you have to "shut off" or take all the world's burdens upon yourself - do what you can, have faith and know that whether it be weeks, months or years those that truly matter will be there for you.

Remember:

if life is an ocean and we are but vessels our friends can be our sails and our anchors, so never be afraid to ask them.
