I’ve talked about having good days and bad days. I’ve spoken about healing the open wounds and it’s all a process. I thought I was actually doing pretty good until this morning.

Today is definitely a bad day for me. It’s one of those days where I feel like a raw nerve.

Everything is getting to me and I feel like I’m drowning. Elliott came home from school sick. He’s not physically ill but is so stressed out that he feels sick just the same. Lizze and I are working together to help him through this. That’s absolutely a positive thing but even so, it’s not a quick fix. It’s a process.

I’m so overwhelmed by everything today and not seeing an end in sight. At the same time, I know this is temporary and I will persevere. The kids will make it through this and we will find a way to move forward.
