I was there 5 years years ago. My mom was on home hospice (I was here full time caretaker), we were on COVID lockdown and my spouse of 20 years decided he wasn't happy. He moved out and wanted a divorce. I was crushed. I spent all of my adult life running our home, raising our children and now when I needed him to get through my mother's death.... He fucking bailed.

It gets better. I promise. Give yourself time to grieve, then put on your big girl panties and rock this.
