My heart goes out to VA Laurie, as I've no job atm as well. This whole situation was unfortunate in itself, pkus having to forsee your brother's condition, not to mention your friend.
Honestly, please take the time to properly heal your mental state first and foremost. That is essential. The game will end, when you say it ends. As for those of us religiously following this game, i for one can wait and maybe prolong the inevitable? Because I love the story, the development, and the humor. So I'm willing to wait. However, as I've previously stated, please do take care of personal matters first and never stress. We look forward to your return and bless us with another update. I hope you get through this in one piece, hang in there.
