I'm sending you so much love and I hope you're being held and comforted and supported during this time. Also, I love that you have friends with a dark sense of humor who send you bumper sticker photos and make you smile cause dark humor is definitely one of the best coping mechanisms that I can think of.
What's working right now for me isn't much since my birth country (Iran) is under attack and we have almost no contact with our friends and family back home. However, my husband and I have been very touched by American friends and neighbors who have reached out to check on us and ask about our families. We went to an antiwar protest yesterday which also helped us feel less alone.
Also, my mom found a little lost French bulldog near her house yesterday and since he had no collar and wasn't microchipped, she brought him home to keep him safe while we found his owner. I went over to help and immediately named him Bob and fell in love with this ridiculous bobble-headed bug-eyed creature. Bob brought so much joy and laughter with his silly antics that for a few hours we forgot all the horrors of the world. So I guess one suggestion for feeling more joy is to find a lost Frenchie and watch him chase your husky/shepherd puppy 🤷🏻♀️
