How much more?

My girls attend a Christian private school affiliated with our church. We had a lot happen in our church over the past 6 months and we decided to leave, but keep the girls at the same school. I happen to work at this school as well and we have been put through the ringer since the church mess began.

Well my boss has been suffering terribly for many different reasons. A lot of the reasons stem from the church, but there are some school issues as well. My boss went on vacation over the holidays and at the end of her vacation she has a mild heart attack. Her doctors instructed her she needed to resign due to all of the stress she is under.

Over the past four years her daughter has been battling a sickness where she is unable to keep any food down. Her intestines just stopped working and they have not been able to come up with a solution on how to make her feel better. She has been so sick throughout the past 4 years.

Sadly tonight her daughter passed away. My heart breaks for my boss! I can't imagine losing my child. This was her only daughter and she is already under so much stress. I pray that she will survive this and God will give her the strength to make it through this! I pray that she knows how much she is loved and respected! I pray that God will wrap his arms around her and her husband and hold them tightly through this horrible loss. I pray that her suffering will end here and she will not have to endure any more pain. She has been through way too much!
