Roger has had 3 sessions with Brenda to tell his story and it has all gone very well. I am feeling very excited thinking about how Brenda is going to present this to us. Roger said there are a few surprises to look forward to. I am a little disappointed that his voice has been taped and his speech is not lovely and clear like it used to be. Roger will have another session next week. It is all very thorough.
I've had a terrible week and a half. I haven't felt really well, I seem to be forever crying, I am stressed, sometimes I feel very alone and trying to cope is way out of control. This is just not like me at all and I know I am probably going to get worse.
I visited a Naturopath on Tuesday and he was very helpful. He has given me some cacky herbs to take and he told me to buy some liquid fish oil to take. He has given me some very good advice and I just have to try and put it into practise.
I hate what is happening to us as a couple. It is even hard for us to have a nice conversation because Roger is so unclear when he talks. But I know I must be thankful for such a happy 35 years of marriage to a darling, darling man.
Roger is currently preparing his message to speak at our Church this coming Sunday 7 August. He will speak from Genesis 11 on 'The Tower of Babel'. I can't say I am too happy about this as I think it is too much for him, but try and tell Roger that!! Also he has been asked to speak at both services - 8.30 and 10.15am!! So, get praying for Roger please everyone!!

Crying is a good thing! It is a pressure valve that helps us cope with the things we don’t think we can handle. Some of the things that land in our lives really are more than we think we can bear, yet you and Roger show us time and again how to live and love within -- and beyond -- those challenges. You show us how to mourn those losses yet still continue to find and love the essence of what really matters. Yours is a powerful story that truly has the ability to change the hearts of those who hear it. God was having a really good day when He created the two of you.
Lifting you both in prayer for strength, peace, and clarity as Roger prepares for and delivers his message this Sunday. Oh, how we would love to be there and experience it in person . . . . .
Will pray for Sunday. Story telling sounds good but an emotional experience. Hoping and praying for support for you that will help on the weekend.

Gaynor, I know it must be tough to have Roger's voice be in such a state. One thing to think about... see if you can get (or have ) audio and video of his previous teachings, meetings, and sessions. Maybe Brenda can use some of those as well.
Be strong. You are doing a great work for Roger and the greater community of friends and family.
