I'll get back to commissions as soon as I can, it's just frustrating because I was doing so well and then this had to happen and just halt all my progress.
I know I should take a break to let the mourning take its course, but I'm supposed to be strong right now and doing what I can to keep us afloat with my income. Uughghhff

let me share something that I came to terms with recently...
are you okay?
I have to be
that isn't an answer...
~don't think you HAVE to be strong all the time... don't think you have to be the one BEING STRONG every time something happens... I tried for 15 years to be there for everyone all the time... a decade and a half of putting my emotions and grief on hold because I felt like it was my duty to "be strong and be there for everyone else" ...and it's blown up in my face so many times. It is perfectly okay to acknowledge that you're not okay... It doesn't mean you're weak...or useless... and it doesn't mean you don't deserve to be happy when you get better.
I'm not okay. BUT I WILL BE.
I'm not okay...and that's okay.
It's okay to admit that I'm not okay
2 once told me after one of his shows...He'd been speaking with a small group of us about emotion and loss You're not afraid to cry, to show your pain... that is a sign of true strength and then hugged me. You can find support in some of the most unexpected places, and that is not counting friends.
say things like this to yourself... and hope for the future. I know how you feel, and I worry about my baby now, he's just a few years old but one of these days I'll have to lay him to rest (assuming nothing happens to me first) but it is a beautiful thing to love someone or something this much...that it makes goodbye so hard I know it's turning a phrase from Pooh but it is true. They were lucky to have been yours for a time.
