Thanks for telling your story. That is a story of survival. I'm glad your son survived it all. You have such a wise perspective on it all. You are right. I am in the bargaining stage right now. I cannot give up because I have two grandchildren that will be needing me over the next decade at least. Their parents don't quite have their act together. So, I have to live until the baby grows up and is doing OK--for 20 more years. I'm bargaining over that. If I live. . . . etc.
It's been hard to plan my day, but today and tomorrow are planned and will be busy and productive. Small steps, right?

@catmom Exactly right. Just knowing where you are and having a path to aim for will hopefully help you. You have much to live for and enjoy, and goodness knows your grandchildren need you in their lives right now. Find a success to count every day, no matter how small. You woke up, you have plans, you have little ones to brighten your day and cherish. That is more blessings than some other people have. Some people journal a "grateful" list to write something down daily. They say it helps them change their focus from the doom they feel to accomplishments and hope. It hasn't worked for me in writing, but I do complete it mentally whenever I realize I am in a funk. Blessings to you and your future.
