Numbing frustration.

i appologize for posting this here and not emailing....i just don't have much in the way of an address book.
i received a phone call at 11:00 last night from my dad informing me my step sister was no longer with us. the police are still investigating, but it appears she's a victim of domestic violence.
my step mom is withdrawn, not wanting to talk to anyone. my sis had a daughter, who's like a lil sister to me....she's a wreck, as are the rest of my siblings.
none of them know Daddy.
i'm having a hard time coming to grips with this....this kinda stuff isnt' supposed to happen....we always get out before it gets too bad.
bah, i'm babbling....i just feel so very numb right now. in shock.
and i'm frustrated. i want to be there for my mom, for my sisters.....some how aleviate the pain that's searing through them....but i can't. i don't know how i can help them best now. bah, my mind's still reeling.

please pray for my family. they need it now more than ever.
thanks folks.
