Your story, written pre-COVID crisis, resonates deeply with what I and I’m sure many of us are feeling right now. I have to remind myself constantly to treat myself with compassion instead of all the harsh expectations I tend to heap on my head (I have all this time! I should be writing great literature! Stories! Novels! Series of novels!). I have to stop and breathe and remind myself that this is a time we all simply have to get through as best we can. Anything we manage to create is gravy — not a duty. And I sincerely hope you and your family have found much more stable financial footing, or will soon. That’s a tough situation.
