I am sorry for your loss..... I small change might make a difference. Take a moment to relax and think about it.
Clean a spot and invite a few friends over to chat. Discussing the situation might make a difference. PS, the Un is a great place to call for support. Also WHO, maybe they can dispatch medical supply and staff.
