The first bit of this made me feel a bit tearful, as you described the overwhelm I am definitely feeling at the moment. But the practical tips and tools helped, so thank you

I felt a little bit tearful writing it. I’m so sorry it’s so tough and overwhelming, but I’m glad it helped a little x

Thanks so much for this Claire I’m almost 70 and was hoping money would be more plentiful now but unfortunately negotiating funds for my husband’s care in a nursing home so back to counting the pennies because the Local Authority will no doubt take all we’ve worked so hard for!!! Trying not to be too angry 😡

It’s ALL effort isn’t it? Even when everything feels like such a lot, we still have to put so much effort into managing and trying to make things feel better. I really struggle with the overwhelming feelings sometimes, particularly as a single mum with 3 children and me being responsible for it all. I know it will change, but, *sigh* still doesn’t make it feel less difficult now. Thank you for writing something that resonates once again!
