Just got back from a 5K with D17. We had fun, but both felt an emptiness because my D5 (her little sister) and her mother was not there with us. We both kept diverting each others thoughts to happy things in the moments of feelings of loss.

Wow this is hard! My D17 is struggling and it takes all I have to not fall into the depression pity party trap.
But we did it and put forth our best foot to move forward from the pain.

Here is to hanging in there and FORCING the brain to focus forward and stay away from the emotions. I can't have those chemicals dumping into my system that can bring on the depression and panic attacks.

I can do this.
We can do this.
We will be stronger at the end of this.
God will bless us with strength and peace and the endurance that this journey will require.
