[quote=Anonymous]OP, just for some context. I had a husband recouping from cancer. Back to work kind-of but likely to lose his job, lose health insurance, and life insurance (before the Affordable Care Act existed), I was a SAHM w/a toddler and pregnant w/#2. No family around. His cancer had come on fast and strong. He was very weak and the prognosis was not good. I compartmentalized. I put-off all communication/tasks/worry related to his cancer until a certain time of day. I scheduled (as an example) 4 - 5pm to think about it, to deal with it. That was my worry time. I tried very hard, and pretty successfully, to limit my worry. You just have to keep living. Welcome as much joy and normal living into your life.[/quote]
