2016 The long anticipated end to an era... beginning a new chapter

So it is nearing Christmas of 2015. My life is rapidly changing and I'm not totally against it. My significant other and I are calling it quits. It's been a long time coming, but it is still hard emotionally, mentally, and financially. We have two children together, a son, A who is 6 and a daughter, L, who is 5. We are working together to make the transition as smooth as possible. I doubt that will happen, but I can try.

So 2016 is the start of a new chapter for myself, my kids, and our pets. I'm scared out of my mushy mind! How am I going to provide for my family? How do I get myself back into the job market after being off for about five years? If I fail, then what do I do? How do I handle my children's feelings of loss and abandonment when I can barely handle my own? How do I get rid of this sense of impending doom? It's all so overwhelming. My anxiety is through the roof, yet I'm strangely calm. 

So I figured I would start writing about it. Maybe I can help someone and others may have some advice and support for me. We all need help sometimes and I want to be able to help as many people as I can in this world. So join me on this journey into a new chapter of my life and feel free to leave comments!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday especially if you're going through difficult life changes! 

Happy Holidays,

Megan
