If you don’t give yourself Grace, then who will? Something very easy to say, but also very difficult to follow. I myself have mightily struggled with that over the last six months or so.
Megan, I really feel this. It's ok to cry a lot and be really sad when your dad dies and you have two little kids. I had a similar experience, but with only one kid. It can feel like the brink of insanity with the grief and the exhaustion of baby and little kid tedium/relentlessness. I hope you can do any kind of mood-lifting exercise for even five minutes every day, and try to brick your phone or whatever. The grief does not fully go away, but the relentlessly negative self-talk and trapped feeling can shrink substantially. Sending you lots of grace!!!!!
