I'm sorry. It is very, very sad. And stressful.
I recommend that you try to get back to basics. To slow down and journal and not make too many commitments right now. Write down everything you do have to do, including deadlines.

I'm feeling anxious, too. And forgetful and overwhelmed. Go to bed extra early if you can. Get yourself one of those plastic/rubbermaid file boxes for everything relating to the legal proceedings.

And above all, feel your feelings. Don't wish them away, don't self-medicate or avoid -- just feel them. And then they stop being so scary. At least that's my experience.

You just do the best you can. I know it's a hard decision to come to. That's why I was never able to make it and had to be basically stomped on to see what was right there in front of me. You are smarter than that. ((fp1))
