    Start learning how and where to ask for help.

    What I mean is that you’re going to have a lot of unmet needs, and you’ll need others to help boost you up. Many of us live like we are islands, but the reality is people support people. But only when you are specifically able to ask for the help you need in clear language. And that is a skill that takes time to develop.

      Beyond your own personal support, depending on where you live there are a lot of resources available from your government, either local, county, state, or wherever. There are also private organizations that help out.

      Unfortunately, this is my wife’s job, and I say unfortunately because I don’t have specifics, I only know of their existence. But resources for shelter, food, even money, they are out there, and you just need to know where to look.
