I wish you strength and peace dealing with them, and I know that's easier said than done. I really hate to see others suffer too, it bothers me so much ... my Dad always told me I cared too much (but he did too). You're so strong to be able to comfort others the way you do. I used to be that way. I wish I still could be, but I just don't feel strong enough to handle the my own pain anymore. Maybe I'll get there again.
