Your support system sounds wonderful. I'm guessing that you and your husband have been "paying it forward" with the love and support you provide your friends and your community.

Whew! It's a lot you've got there. You're managing somehow and that is the miracle of being human. Hope you get some self care too❤️

Good decisions all the way around. Especially that he told you he wasn’t doing well. You’ve got this Anne. You’ve created a system that has the ability to respond, and that’s really all you can do. Respond.

Try not to second guess choices you made one way or the other. Hindsight isn’t very helpful in unique situations like these. And you have no idea if changes with things you’d did or didn’t do would have brought different outcomes. Going down that rabbit hole is only making you feel badly.

All that needs to be done is to respond….. ❤️💔❤️

Thank you, @Teyani Whitman. You are right, I need to respond to what is, rather than imagine what isn’t. . . .

I'm very happy you have this support system in place, and also that you have a job with decent health insurance. You're doing your best; don't guilt yourself or even think twice about it. You're doing it!

Thank God you have a good support system. Try to lean on them a bit to doing something good for yourself once in a while. You can't pour from an empty vessel. xo
