Hi REEG,

It sounds like you are doing the best you can for now. You understand her pain and your also have your stuff to deal with, there are bound to be times to where these two things will clash and that's ok. The good thing is that the two of you keep talking and expressing yourselves, realizing when to say I'm sorry or when you both may need a hug is always a good thing. Keeping those communication lines open is important. Sometimes we all need to just take a day or two and rest, sleep, just to take a break from it all because it can all be too overwhelming to deal with. I have learned myself to take a couple of days to just rest or sleep to regain my strength on view on things. Right now you are doing the best you can, it's just one step at a time no matter how small even if that means taking some time out from it all.
