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)
