There is a saying that the time when you have least opportunity to meditate, is when you most need to meditate. I reckon the same could be said of blogging. I’m currently facing some significant challenges. I know blogging about them would help.
But I will do anything but.
Sometimes it’s because they feel too personal, sometimes it’s because I feel as if putting them into words trivialises them, sometimes it’s because I just don’t have spare capacity.
The Obvious? 
Sorry to hear you’re having a challenging time. The comparison you make with meditation is so true. Interestingly you use the word ‘capacity’ in particular. In my experience, for what it’s worth, capacity has an uncanny way of expanding the more I embrace challenges. Conversely capacity diminishes the more I resist them. So many paradoxes…

Reach out if you need to.
Trust in what you’re doing and not doing.

Don’t know if this will help or not, my friend. My mother’s demise was particularly difficult, this helped me a bit: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7nGZDPgk-/

It’s OK to find yourself down sitting in the mud. And without the dark, wet mud you can never truly appreciate the gloriously warm and sunny days ahead.
