My entire life has crumbled ( 1 year update)

If you don't know my story, here it is:

"My entire life has crumbled

My infant daughter died suddenly in February. My dad was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer last month. Tonight, my husband asked for a divorce. I am so sad. I started this year with everything I could have ever wanted and barely 9 months in, I have nothing. My heart is so broken."

First off, just wanted to acknowledge the support and comments I received here a year ago. So many reached out with kind words that I desperately needed at the time.

Onto the update

Two days after making that post I was taken to an inpatient center for 11 days to get my mental health in check. As you may have guessed, the divorce went through and was finalized a year to the day when he asked for it.

My dad is currently on his second set of chemo meds and isn't doing well. The tumor has grown, surgery isn't an option, shit is going down hill like we knew it would be and so we are appreciating every day that we have with him.

Missing my daughter hasn't gotten any easier. I think about her every day and find new ways to honor her memory. I'm happy I'm still here to do it.

Oh, and I got the dog in the divorce.
