Brainstorming Session!

In order to gain clarity on our whole situation an needs, share ideas, and perhaps reveal some concrete plans and new resources, we gathered today in a "Brainstorming" session. It was AMAZING.  I am so grateful for the women who attended, and for my mom, Tess, for leading us!
We came up with some good stuff - clarifying various needs, sharing resources, and so much more. We looked at "best possible outcomes" and worked with this vision.
The areas of "needs" that rose to the top were related to: emotional support (for Eric and each of us), physical safety and wellness for Eric, transportation, home/property care and upkeep, goods, groceries / caloric intake / shopping, financial stability / bookkeeping / taxes, business growth, quality / down / alone time, etc.
Tonight my mom and I will touch base once more and come up with some very specific "first steps" to either delegate, ask for help with, or do ourselves... and we will share the support needs/tasks that could be filled by others.
This was a VERY HELPFUL process and not only was I able to "see" a bigger picture with the ideas/thoughts of others, I was able to FEEL the "okay-ness" of HAVING NEEDS in such a situation.
It gave me a sense of perspective, touched me deeply to be so supported, and gives me hope that I can create a rough plan and support network to get us through whatever comes.
