I hear you Lisa.
You are not alone.

You have to go through this very difficult period. You're re-priortizing your entire life and trying to put all the pieces together to do the most good.
You know what's good for you, you know you will be there for Bill, you have to go to work..... How the hell are these pieces going to fall together in this new puzzle?

You will begin to recognize you need to grieve for your old life, and allow that process to run it's course. Then slowly, you will see new and somewhat modified pieces of the puzzle start to fall in place. Some of it may still be too difficult. This is where a counselor will help.

You will continue to exercise, your body demands that outlet. It won't let you sleep until you do.

In a few months you'll look back at this and appreciate how it was just a flash in time and see how far you've come.

Keep talking to us.
