Going back after 14 months at home after 17 years as a copywriter

I stepped out for 14 months to care for a family member and now want to return. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I am unsure how to describe the break. What helped?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I began with part-time temp work, which helped me get back into the rhythm.
