Good grief! How am I just now seeing your post, ?? My apologies for not seeing this earlier.
First, it is very normal to feel overwhelmed when it comes to health issues, especially when it seems to be a steady drip (or a tsunami) or ongoing diagnoses and new problems.
I think it's good to acknowledge those feelings of being overwhelmed and to even acknowledge that this whole situation; well, it sucks. And then you can go from there and say, "Ok. Now what do I do with this?"
As a Mom, you are already well experienced at moving forward when the game plan gets changed up at the last minute. And I bet you're good at making do with whatever is thrown your way. So, you can apply those skills to this situation. Is it easy? Not always. Is it fun? No. But you CAN do this.
I know it's probably not easy, but if you can find time to just focus on yourself, even if it's just ten minutes, that can help you breathe and center yourself and just take a moment to focus on you and your needs. Listen to a favorite song (or two) alone in the car. Take a quick walk (or nap 😉 ). Buy a candle in a scent you love and burn it while you're in the shower or bath. Just anything that can help you pause and breathe. It won't change your diagnoses, but it can help you check in with your body and your mind and catch your breath.
Please know you're not alone in this, even when it feels that way.
