DFayesMom,
I'm sorry to hear you are having such a rough time.

I wish I had some advice for you, but I really don't. I went through some unavoidable stress in January when my mother passed away unexpectedly. I had to drive 6 hours to be with my Dad and family, plus attend the visitations and funeral, never mind grieve.

There was no magic answer to how I survived it. It wasn't pretty. It was brutal and in some ways, I'm still trying to recover from that set back.

I did my best to "steal moments" for myself whenever I could. Just a moment to close my eyes, plus my ears and just be, even for a second or two.

Without knowing details and I don't need details... all I can suggest is just breathe and know whatever it is you are dealing with won't always be like it is right now in this moment. Something will change, even if only a slight bit. Sometimes that's all we need, is just a tiny shift to make it bearable.

Take care and know you're not alone.
Starr
