Re: some people get all the luck-Not-

Yes, I agree, save your energy, and sock it to them when you can (or can hire someone to do it for you). This is scary for everyone. It happens too much. Once is too much. Focus on you and do whatever you have to do to stay as calm as possible. Don't hesitate to ask anyone for help, no matter how big or small.
