Heather - I am so sorry, that you and your kids have to go through this. I don't have lots of brilliant words of advice, but you are forging ahead - keep doing it. You are actively making a new life for yourself, which is the best you can do right now. I wish you tons of luck in finding an affordable rental, and I hope your job turns out to be something that makes you happy - and pays the bills! You deserve it. It sure seems like you are following Lois Wilson's words to the letter!

I'm finally starting to realize the same - I believe my H is gone forever now too. And I surely don't understand it all either. Probably never will. All we can do is make the best of what is left, and trust that God has a better plan in store for us down the road.
