No wisdom for you, Jessica (I think you already have a sufficient quantity of that, anyway).

But lots of good thoughts. And a quick comment that while it can be scary to experience times of that snowball-of-fear, it also NORMAL to do so. And probably necessary. It's a rhythm, right? The snowball comes, the snowball rolls and grows a bit, the snowball moves on. It's my belief that when we don't let the snowball happen, it doesn't go away -- it hides and emerges later as an avalanche. It seems to me like it's places like this list that really help during hard times, because we can say we're scared and we hate it. And many people will understand, empathize, and just acknowledge that, without trying to talk us out of it -- knowing that it's normal, and will pass.

Good thoughts and prayers to you, please let us know how it's going.
