Hi,
My name is K and I lost my husband nearly 4 mo ago. I am 38. We have two young children. I have extremely limited help, both of my parents have passed. I have been on my own for awhile since my husband had not been in the house the past year due to substance abuse. I have felt very strongly about taking time off since he passed. I have zero time unless it is late at night and I am drowning. I feel like I need to take some time to soul search and do things like swim or volunteer and find me- so that I can be the best Mom to my kids. Has anyone taken a significant time away from work?
