((((Simcha))))

It's really good to see you back, but I'm sorry it has to be because life has thrown up a few really large speedbumps.

You're doing the right thing...you're dealing with it all. No, you are not perfect but you are surviving through a really tough situation, and that requires some serious strength.

Keep reaching out to good people and just be honest with them. It is hard to do it without feeling embarrassed, but the shame passes and it feels wonderful to find the help we all need.

On a very practical note, it sounds like you have *a lot* of details and practical issues to juggle right now. Take a few moments and write down everything that needs to be done. Then decide what has to be done first, second, etc. Each morning, pick up the list and do the next thing that needs to be done.

Definitely tell T as soon as possible. These are major life events, and that's what T's are for.

My thoughts are with you, Simcha. One small step at a time.
