"What is the next stage? What is it that I need to do? What is going to happen next? What do you want me to do?" I heard my voice shaking as I said those words to her. All I could think about were my kids and Reece as they sat at the table looking miserable. I knew that they were hurting. I knew that they needed me, but I wasn't there to help them and make it all better. I was failing them. I was failing as a wife and as a mother.
I was on the verge of tears, but I didn't want to cry. Crying right now, for the other me to see, would just add insult to injury for me. I needed to be strong, to make sure that I didn't fall apart completely.
