Has/Does anybody feel this way?

I know this is a bit strange...I am going through an incredibly difficult time which is profoundly affecting my mood, but also giving me this renewed love and appreciation for my children, but there feels something similar to grief and I wondered if anyone had felt this way or knew what is was or just anything.

My children are still young, 8&12, and we have just had to leave our home of 9 years as LL said she was selling.
I cry a lot, I've just gone back to work after having two weeks off, our living situation is not ideal now.

I feel as though I'm grieving my very young children, I feel as though I want to turn back time and make everything right for them. I wonder around touching their stuff, I look at their photos and pictures and cry. I feel huge sense of loss, I can't really describe it, it feels like I never appreciated them enough when they were little, that I've missed out, although it wasn't as if I was working away.

I don't think any of this is very coherent, I'm just rambling really and probably a sign that I am not coping with our situation, which I am working hard to solve. I just wondered if anyone else felt this.

Yes think I know what you mean,
It's like you can't see /enjoy the wood for the trees.

Your so busy doing things, trying to keep all the plates spinning you forget to enjoy it and I want to go back and enjoy what I've missed by worrying so much.
