  • Where are you in your PAL journey? 
     
    It's been three weeks since we lost June.


    What are some PAL challenges you have faced recently? 
     
    Just trying to "be there" for DD.  I know she needs her mommy and I'm trying to focus on her, but it is really hard to keep it together.  She asks me why I'm sad, and I'm honest and open with her about what happened to June, but I don't want her to grow up thinking "mommy's always sad."

    QOTW: Do you feel that your SO has the same PAL fears as you do? 
     
    Yes and no.  We're both terrified of something happening to DD, but DH is more so than I am.  I'm most worried about not being able to be a good mom to DD because I'm grieving.

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
     
    I'm really anxious about going back to work.  I have three more weeks of leave and I don't know how I'm going to be  "well" enough to go back and be an effective employee/manager.  I know I shouldn't be focusing on that yet, but I can't help it.  I used to be a high performer at work, and I just don't see how I can go back to that.
