I couldn’t wear myself down that hard and fast, especially since Keith was in a family medicine residency program with the Air Force (also high stress, but with an 8 year commitment, so he couldn’t quit). Solo parenting isn’t my favorite, but I have learned some valuable burnout coping skills that aren’t just for single parents: and I don’t accomplish as many projects in my work that I’d like to. And I’m sure they’d have been wonderful if I hadn’t opened up to them, but I know that I never would have grown to trust them had I not chosen to be vulnerable.
Some days the grief is heavier than others, but on a day-to-day basis, grief feels more like an extra shadow following me than the ginormous rain cloud that has hovered over me in the past. I don’t think about the grief every day, but every now and then, I’m reminded how profoundly loss has changed my life. It’s a learning curve, but the more effort I put into improving my ability to care for myself and identify my needs, the less devastating of an impact a grief wall has on me. The grief and sadness feel just a bit lighter when I know I’m not alone.
, it’s pretty much on repeat every time I’m listening to music these days! and I already drink a lot of water and take vitamin B, so there aren’t a lot of options (other than more sleep at night, which I have very little control over depending on what little people wake up at night). Sweet Dreams (the kids use this at night), Tranquil (I use this at night), and a combination of Cedarwood and Rosalina I love Plant Therapy because they’re very good about making safe use information available (especially since I use the oils with the kids! )
As people counseled me to continue to pray about these things and trust that God is working out the details, I was near tears, and panicking: WHAT IF GOD SAYS YES? ! I’m convinced God rolls his eyes at me several times a day (does God even have eyes? And I’m sure God smirked and looked at all the celestial beings and said, “watch this. What if I’m not ready for this good thing?
