My maternity leave ended and I lost my job. The bills are crushing us. My partner is carrying everything alone. I cry everyday feeling like I'm failing my family. It’s Sunday morning. I should be in church right now. But I can’t even lift my head to pray. I’m just here. Crying Alone While everyone else is worshipping. I’m a mum. And right now I can’t provide for my family. My maternity leave ended, I lost my job, and the guilt is eating me alive. Every night I watch my partner come home exhausted, carrying bills that should be shared between us and I just fall apart. I feel like I’m failing the people I love the most.
