Been there… done that.

We have lived through this so many times in our marriage. It’s broken us so many times and that’s hard to come back from. I live in constant fear of another job loss. It gives me anxiety even when things are good. Major anxiety. The last time, we had a seven week old and I was still on maternity leave. Totally ruined that experience of maternity leave. I will forever associate that beautiful period with our daughter with incredible stress, sadness, and anger.

That’s so understandable! Job loss is hard – for any reason but pile on a new baby how can it not be stressful! You’ve weathered the storm so well – and you have a beautiful family!

I guess that’s where staying in the moment is helpful…but easier said than done too!

I disagree that I’ve weathered the storm well. Maybe I put up a good act on the outside, but inside it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Perspective helps, but I’m still a hot mess. Lol.
