Update
My brother-in-law is at peace now. There was no brain activity, so they took him off life support. My SIL is still holding up very well.
It has been a long day. The funeral will be this Saturday. He is being buried, and there will be an open casket, so Eler Beth has told me that she would rather not go. This would be the first open casket funeral she would have attended since my father's, and she doesn't think she could handle it. Mary will understand.
My nerves aren't bothering me like they were last week, and the OCD has subsided. I did call my doctor today and talked to him. He told me that whatever made me comfortable, he would do. If I wanted to come in and discuss upping my medicine, I could do that, or if I wanted to see how things go after things settle down around here, then we can do that. I'm functioning okay, so I'll wait and see.
In the meantime, this evening, I am going to close out March in my journals with a few entries. I'm feeling like it, and I hate that I've done so little this month.
Thanks to everyone who has kept my family in their thoughts and prayers.

This is hard to believe, but I also lost a BIL the same day you did and his funeral is also Saturday. He was an ex- brother-in-law but he and my sister were married for thirty years and had four children together. It still grieves me, because he was in our lives for so long. He was a victim of colon cancer.
I pray that you will find balance, strength and grace for dealing with problems.
I need the same prayers. Thinking of you, Pat -
Lori,
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
