The little 27 y/o gal who fills in for me has cancer and had surgery this week. So hard. I know she has a little boy, he must be scared sick. Not sure when she's coming back to work, so I'm on 7 days a week until she's okay.

(5,104 posts)This time of year can be hard, getting older, feeling mortal, seeing friends pass, watching a younger person with a young child face cancer are all very heavy emotional weights to bare. Not to mention the load of working 7 day weeks on top of the rest.
You are dealing with a lot.
