Don't know where to start making things better

I'm grieving a parent who died very suddenly last year, still feels very hard, I felt unsupported by my partner and had a breakdown because of trying to look after my kids at the same time as grieving. Had lots of time off work. I feel completely burned out still. House is chaos but I feel overwhelmed trying to make it better. Getting therapy and trying ADs. There is so much to make better but I freeze when I start to try.

It’s so hard. All you can do is take each day at a time, one foot in front of the other, keep trying to do the things that help you heal. Try to be kind to yourself.

Just wanted to add, when I’m feeling frozen sometimes I find if I accept that I’ve not done whatever and forgive myself for that, then think about what I physically need (shower, food, exercise) and start there, I can do some self care, and when I’ve done that I can often do something else.
