Lost, please cut yourself some slack. I think you are being to hard on yourself.
Your try to keep your marriage alive and then experience a parental nightmare, losing your kid. You are stressed and will be for a while. I think crying is a healthy way to reduce stress. I cried more in 2015 then I did since I was a child.
I think your doing great with everything your up against. Take it day by day and breathe in the breath of a peaceful mind.
Thank you. Your kind, supportive words mean so much.
I agree, I'm very stressed. IC mentioned signs of PTSD, but I'm not so sure. I think that should be reserved for those suffering truly traumatic events. But I do recognize my stress level is thru the roof.
I need to find ways to cope better with everyday life.
I'm taking the children to a new church today, near the apt.
Trying baby steps in goal setting
1. I will not cry during mass today 2. Laugh one time 3. Make sure the kids are ready for school tomorrow (will help lessen some stress)
oh, & try to practice PMA (SOOOO darn Hard!!!)
I hope you have an enjoyable Sunday!
