When life turns upside down

Writing this today is incredibly difficult for us.

Over the past few weeks, our lives have been turned completely upside down. My wife – my partner and the mother of our children – has been struggling with serious psychological issues. What began as a difficult period has developed into something that is affecting our entire family in the most painful ways. When one of us is struggling like this, we all struggle. The pain, anxiety, and worry fill our days, and it takes everything we have to stand together and take care of one another.

That’s why we’ve decided to take a break from the blog. Both my brother-in-law and I need to prioritize our family right now. We’ll use the time ahead to support my wife as best we can, be there for the kids, and make sure that we, as a family, get through this together. The blog has meant a lot to both of us – it’s been a place for thoughts, laughter, reflection, and community – but right now, there’s something more important.

We don’t know how long this break will last. It could be a few weeks or a few months. We promise to come back when we’re ready, hopefully with renewed energy and perhaps a little more wisdom from what we’re going through now.

We hope you understand, and we hope you’re doing well wherever you are.
Take care of each other. That’s what matters most.

With deep gratitude
