What a sick system you are having to deal with. Keep reminding yourself it is NOT YOU. It is a horrible, abusive system that 1) you couldn't get paid to take care of your sick/dying spouse and 2) now you are penalized because criminals stole funding that should be helping you and your kids.

You may be able to (someday) help other folks also struggling because of our broken, disgraceful systems. But you are not the failure here!

Also keep tapping in to feelings of gratitude for the things that are going well. Every day. Every "little" thing. It helps our energy. Other good things happen, just from remembering to feel gratitude. (In my experience)

Thank you so much, I tried to keep my job but unfortunately since it was corporate there was nothing they could do as their rules were set in stone and HR was not able to budge and put me on a temporary leave. Things are difficult but I know it’ll come back around.

I actually started a group for other people in my state who have been affected by the dept of community affairs practices, I’m hoping we can come together and find some type of support from the state or federal government in the future to rectify this situation. They won’t listen to one person but they can’t ignore 100! Hopefully I can help other this way bc what they’ve done is wrong.
