Post category:Challenge and Conflict Stress

Do you have demanding people in your life? I know that this is a ridiculous question for me to ask. Everyone does! They come disguised in many forms.

My family and I decided that this was best for him. He was a very important part of our family. He was 16 1/2 years old and had serious health issues. There are many things that my family and I can be grateful for… he gave us many joyous moments and companionship, and his lack of suffering when his health was declining.
