Days like these really are taking it one baby step at a time @Jojo2 - there is nothing more you can do otherwise it becomes too overwhelming. Start with just tidying one room at a time then do something to reward yourself afterwards - even just sitting down and having a cuppa. Don't think too far ahead - that is when our heads have so much in them that we cannot think clearly.

Hearing you @Jojo2 .....
There can be a lot we can’t share here for various reasons ..... boundaries (community guidelines), keeping our identity anonymous amongst them ..... but sharing how we feel .... calling it out to the real people who are part of the community here .... can be part of the healing.
Telling that we are angry, or feeling ashamed .... telling that someone close to us is hurting our feelings, or not taking the time to listen to us, to try to understand us ..... is taking the thoughts and feelings out of the head spin and heart spin .... and sometimes it helps us to be able to see the path forward a little more clearly.
It can help us hear ourselves a little more clearly, and understand what we want and need,
It can put a voice to something we need to express and be heard about.
I am so sorry to hear how tired you are. With pneumonia to recover from, maybe just pile things into bowls, baskets and boxes if the place needs a tidy up, but leave the putting away of it all until you feel stronger .... keep your energy for recovery.
It really sucks that your son broke his arm too ....
Hugs .... 🌷💕

That is an awful position to be in @Jojo2 and will certainly be adding even more pressure onto what you are already feeling. Don't think about Monday or tomorrow for that matter - just the rest of today - minute by minute, hour by hour if you need. We are here to support you and help you get through today - then we tackle tomorrow when it comes. The hardest thing to do is to not worry about what is voming up but to try and live in the moment (I really suck at this too lol) but with a little help it is possible. I like to make pictures on the computer to distract myself so that is what I have been doing for most of today - it is something I can do without having to really think - is there something like that that you can do - colouring, knitting, etc?

That is really hard @Jojo2 ..... I hope by letting the tears out you can get a place where they stop for a while.
I am guessing the clean-up of the house is part of the bigger picture. Is there anyone who can come over and help you ?
