    Dear Yvonne,

    I am so sorry for the loss of your brother and mother. It is too much to bear. Your stress levels are extremely high. You are correct that shingles never leaves you alone. To call it a friend, I can't really agree.

    I hope you have analgesics that are helping you with the pain of the shingles. I hope that your family is being supportive while you grieve and are trying to recover from the shingles.

    Best Wishes

    Merry Juliana
