Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• They handled the money, or the cooking, or were just the person I leaned on
• Since they died, the whole ground I stood on is gone
• This one loss feels like the end of the world when I stare right at it, and I keep checking it obsessively, which only makes it worse
• It’s been long enough that I can quietly admit something in me has shifted since they died
• Since I nearly lost it all, the small ordinary things I used to walk right past
