Mommy, I dropped my cup
Milk is all over the floor
Don’t worry, love
…I will fix it.
Daughter, I did something wrong
My tv’s stuck on channel three
I know what to do, Mom
…I will fix it.
Sister, I could use your advice
You’ve been through this before
Of course I will help you, Sis
…I will fix it.
Mom, I am not sure
My homework is perfect
Honey, let me see
…I will fix it.
Wife, my tire is flat
Can I borrow your car?
Yes, babe, give me your keys
…I will fix it.
Friend, please come over
I think I broke my blender
Be right over with mine
…I will fix it.
Me, I am exhausted
I need a moment alone
Can’t let them see me break
…I will fix it.
……Later.

You write beautifully and I know just what you mean cause I’ve been all those places…Hugs!

When you don’t know what to do, stop and breathe. I know that sounds too simple, but it works. You will last. Find one good thing about today. Just one thing that makes you feel happy or accomplished. You can do it, I know you can. 🙂

I know… I just can’t get the other stuff out of my head. I am SO sick of thinking about it. Things I love and enjoy remind me of it…so things that made me happy kind of don’t right now. That feels so unfair… My own things…pieces of me… have been turned into painful reminders. I don’t want to lose them but everything feels tainted.

I wish I could wrap my arms around you, hold you, rock you and tell you how this too shall pass. When you are in the middle of it, I know it sure doesn’t seem like it will pass, but it ALWAYS does. Let your kids, who I know are a point of stress, be your motivation. They want nothing but good things for you too. Remember that. 🙂
