I'm like, okay, now I have to handle that with zero guidance. His family is not helping me at all. And I'm like, okay, now what? I'm used to being alone at night, but I'm not used to. My parents had day jobs. My mother worked in an office. My father worked construction. Day jobs was the first time I hadn't cried in four days. I couldn't sleep at all last night

And I think that in and of itself makes us not be highly functioning. So judging that you're handling things badly, you need self compassion. It's the most important thing right now to have the sense of, wow, this is a lot coming at me. I got some family that can help, but you're alone, and that aloneness compounds everything, right? Because it's just you and you're just reminding yourself of what's going on and how terrifying it is

I mean, I don't think my soul left my body or anything. I didn't die, but I think my brother is going to coach me on how to handle all that. I don't have a long time to prepare. I mean, it's the day after tomorrow and tomorrow I have to work, but there is a little bit of hope. I finally get my husband back. I think after a week. I talked to his sister today. Man, we're very different
