Ouch! I'm going through similar things at work, with people leaving while work piles up. I hope things turn around for you!
That's mostly how I'm doing, though -- stressed about work. Coordinating things is like... I'd say "herding cats" except that implies you can see the cats. In this case it's more like standing in a room with a bunch of cats, but some are hiding under the bed, a few are trying to use the same litter box at once, one is climbing the curtains, one demands attention constantly, and you're pretty sure one slipped out the door when you weren't looking. Most of them are technically where you want them, but it's mild chaos. And you have to get everything cleaned up and ready for visitors really soon. And all of this is being watched by the people who pay the bills. It's all worth it, because everything you're doing is in support of a cause you really believe in, but sometimes you just want to go lie down and let someone else deal with it.
