At the point you are at in the MLC journey, there is no way to completely get rid of all the stress you are experiencing. Let's face it, you are in the "going through hell" phase. It is a matter of managing what is thrown at you and you are doing an awesome job. At times, you have to let yourself grieve, feel down, etc... That is part of the process. You can stress yourself out even more when you have expectations that you should be doing well all the time. You are an amazing woman and an example for many. Your Ml'er is a complete idiot to let someone like you go and he will realize this later than sooner.
