Yeah I would say your circumstances call for something a 'lil stronger than a Red Stripe. I don't know how it compares to the "real" stuff in Jamaica, but Rum Cream is popping up all over the place around here, now. Take a short breather and recenter yourself. Whatever comes won't be any better by you worrying about it. On the contrary - the more calm you are, the better for everyone I'm sure.
I hope your family's health scare turns out to be something very treatable. Take rinakim's advice - it's solid. You'll get through everything one step at a time, by prioritizing, looking for short-cuts on the stuff that you can, and dropping the stuff that doesn't matter or has low payoff from your plate.
