I'm sorry you are having to deal with financial stress on top of all of this.

Don't beat yourself up over not having found a job in a month. These things take time, even when you aren't dealing with emotional upset.

I bet you will feel better once you bite the bullet and send the email. I often make things worse in my head than they actually are.
