The question is---how do you get back "up on the horse" after a couple of major crises in your life? For example, in one week I had to face a death, major court mediation, and a car accident that came close to totaling my car (fortunately, nobody was hurt). These are all life changing experiences, but handled one at a time they can be easily endured. When they all happen in one week, they can each be monumental and difficult to handle. Your normal life definitely gets put on hold.
I have always believed that adversity is an opportunity to learn something of importance, whether it be how to address a problem or how not to do something. The most challenged, unsuccessful person in the world can be a great teacher of how not to confront a problem. This awareness can easily be spun into a positive lesson. What am you supposed to be learning from this kind of chaos besides patience?
A friend has just suggested the standard advice, get up, dress up and show up. This just means putting on a happy face and moving forward. Another bit of advice that comes to mind is "fake it 'til you make it." This may be all you can do for now. Forward momentum breeds forward momentum. Just because you're overwhelmed now doesn't mean that Iyou will always be that way. Time will lead you out of this chaos and back on the path to serenity.
