One year later: an update for anyone in the thick of it

It is okay to feel relieved. Relief is not the same as not caring. The kids are more resilient than the fear tells you. Steady and honest is enough.

One year out and I promise there is a version of you on the other side of this who is okay.

The guilt lied to me for months. It does get quieter. Keep going.

I went through almost exactly this last year. Happy to share what helped if you want to DM.
