Trigger warning: this blog post deals with suicide

My husband and I faced one of the most stressful weeks we've ever had in our marriage. We got through Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton with easily repaired damages. We have three condos undergoing some renovation or repair.

My assistant and I have a system in place for how we get our newsletters done. I write the blog, find the photos I want to use, get the quote, and then put it into a form. I wrote this amazing blog about how my community came together in Hurricane Milton. I put the information in the form, sent my assistant a message that it was ready, and then went to bed.

30 more days of social distancing...ugh!

We are watching history unfold in front of our eyes. Never in our lifetimes have we seen such an unprecented event such as COVID-19. As I watch my friends post the good, the bad, and the ugly on Facebook, I see a larger trend emerging...GRIEF. Everyone is morning the loss of "the way things were."
