Never quite prepared

Just received the call from my mom that hospice has been called in for my uncle Jackie.  We all know that death is a certainty for everyone at some point, however no matter the age, it still hits you like a ton of bricks.  This happens to be one of my favorite uncles so it's particulary hard to grasp.  I don't know where to start to pray or what to say which is so unlike me.  I'll be heading to see him tomorrow as he's been asking for me the past few days. 
I couldn't figure out why I've been moping around the house all day - just no energy to do anything that took much energy - pajama day indeed.  Now, I can say it was just God's way of preparing me and reserving my energy for the drive home and emotional roller coaster. 
Keep me and my family in prayer and I'll continue to do the same for you and yours.
