One other thing- your “instincts” develop over time. In fact, what a lot of people think of as instincts are just hard-earned knowledge. Absolutely no one knows what to do immediately. You will figure out who your go-to people are but in the meantime, accept that there is a learning curve.

At some point, this time is going to feel like just a blip in your long life, BUT that is not what it feels like now. It is so hard to have perspective while you are recovering, sleep deprived and overwhelmed. It doesn’t *feel* like you will ever feel normal again, but I promise you will. Now, where is a load of laundry I can do for you?
