My mum (single parent) has lost her job just a week ago and whilst I know she will find a new job her previous one paid about triple the amount it should have and so she will not get paid enough to afford our living costa and I am so so scared for her and one minute she is having one of her blackest days and the next it seems like she's forgotten what's going on. Her stress deflects on me and whilst I know it must be nothing compared to what she's feeling I am still so scared

@literaturetravel2424 it makes sense to be scared as your mother lost her job and is probably extremely stressed as well. I don't have an exact similar situation but my family was in a dire financial situation when my dad lost a lot of money in the stock market and everyone in my family was stressed as well. And it's hard because there's no way of knowing if things will get better or if our lives right now can keep going. However, what helped me in times like that was not me being stressed with them but calming myself down through music, jounraling, reading, arts, dancing, and living. It's hard to notice in times like right now, but life still has a lot of beauty and I am sure if you can learn to smile now, that just might rub off on your mother as well. It's not easy and if you ever need a community, we are all here to support and listen
