Broken and wounded, but still pushing on

When sickness strikes a family member, it is almost as if everyone close also gets sick. Sickness has a way of blowing through the family and affecting everything and resulting in deep, and individual wounds.

So much so, that when it blows though one last time and a loved one is  laid to rest, those left behind although standing often carry deep wounds that may not always be evident, but can linger on years after.
