It is interesting to be aware of my stress and how it ebbs and flows. With my parents gone and a couple of days to get back to normal --well, things are back to normal.
The context of the divorce overall seems to simply amplify normal feelings of stress. So "extra" just piles on exponentially, but once I'm through it things cool back down.
I am hoping this isn't some kind of new normal in my life and that once the divorce is final and I get some space from it that I can deal with stress better and prevent feeling on the brink of overwhelmed.
