A Caretaker's Prayer

Father and Mother  give us this day for calmness and 
                    composure and peace of mind to be mindful to remember
                     our dear loved ones are not in a clear state of mind, and
                     during these challenging times gives us strength and
                     perseverance.

                      Bless this bureaucratic system that has a set of rules for
                      caretakers to follow called red tape, unnecessary rules and
                      regulations regarding mental illness and addictions to loved  
                      one's family members to adhere. 
                      
                      
                      Dear Father and Mother how can a mental illness patient 
                      make decisions in their right frame of mind to makes decisions
                      to seek treatment, When their unstable and don't know what's
                      best for themselves?

                       I pray incessantly for the families who have lost loved ones in
                       the past, present, and future that no one has to undergo the
                       exact chapter of these set of circumstances.
