I have been seeing a psychiatrist and been on an antidepressant since February due to many current stressors in my life; DH has Stage 4 lung cancer and congestive heart failure and is in a lot of pain, has been in treatment to which he has not been responding all that well; DS has lost his job due to the pandemic and divorced his wife (amicably) and moved back in with us; DGS and his mum live a mile away so I have some childcare responsibility, etc. My husband spends almost the entire day sleeping due to both medications and his conditions. So my life is like being alone, because I have to do everything related to household and medical things, but still having the responsibility for another person’s well-being in terms of monitoring medications, etc. We are all realists here and recognize the probable eventual outcome of his disease - just don’t know when, of course. I am not religious or even very spiritual but my psychiatrist has encouraged me to “find a philosophy” that will be the thing that will help me cope going forward and with the current and future events that await us. I’d be grateful for any suggestions on how you have formulated belief systems and coping skills when going through difficult times and not having any particular religious faith.
