Hi friends. It’s been some time. Life has been busy and I’ve wanted to attempt to focus on myself and my health. It’s not going terrible, but my mental health isn’t great at the moment.

Something I’ve learned this week is how your mental health can affect the rest of your health, including a diet. I’m not home right now and I’m house sitting for my friend while their family is on vacation. It’s my first time staying alone somewhere for more than a night since my husband passed. I didn’t think it would affect me as much as it has.

I’ve cried….A LOT.

This time last year, my husband was in the hospital fighting for his life. We had no idea it would be his last month. I was so optimistic. I miss him every day, and right now it’s even worse. I’m usually trying to think of the happy memories with him, but right now, I just have this dark cloud over my head reminding me of the end of his life.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to get out of this funk? I can’t keep living like this. I don’t know what to do…
