kc...….of course it hurts...and, of course, you are going to go through missing the things that have been familiar for so long. This is normal and expected.
It is o.k. to miss those things and to admit it. It is o.k. to even cry about it....to even cry, a lot.
This is a stage of the grieving process. You will be grieving...and, going through various stages of grieving for a while....But, it won't always feel like this, and, it won't be forever.....
I call it the Short-term pain for the Long-term gain.....
This is why it is so important to try to stay, as much as possible, considering that you are grieving....to stay in the present and just try to get from one day to the other...(one day at a time)…..

How about making a list of all the things that you can look forward to....
Think about what you would like your new normal to look like.....
A good way to stop thinking about the past is to start thinking about the future....

Yes, it IS hard living in someone else's space....and, cooped up with children, to boot....I think that so many are in that situation, now.....we are all having a hard time with this virus thing.....
It won't be forever, though....
