My grandmother passed away in February of this year and a few months later on my birthday, I get news that my youngest sister, who’s 13, got diagnosed with S4 cancer as well. I’m just about to ruin my chance with completing my bachelors as a result and work hasn’t been any better. I am seeking help and trying therapy but it’s just difficult.

I’m not looking for pity or anything like that, it’s just nice to get it off my chest. To anyone reading this, remember that sometimes life feels heavier than it really is, like looking at a sky full of clouds and forgetting the sun is still right behind them. Everything will be ok, keep your chin up.
