Still More to Learn

Beth,

I can tell you from the unfortunate experienced, that this is natural...

I am not doing well. I am not handling this well. I cannot keep having breakdowns at work.

It doesn't mean you aren't doing well (in the broader sense, because you are), but it is part of the "script", too. You are grieving... you have every right to feel the feelings you are feeling, so feel them. Eventually, they will dissipate. Better to let them out now then to let them continue to build and control you. Yeah, it sucks to breakdown at work, but, he said playing amateur psychologist, being a stoic about it and just accepting what's happening to you without both the rational thought you are putting into it and experiencing the feelings you are feeling isn't going to make you well. I have no idea if any of that made any sense...

Real point is "hang in there" and don't beat yourself up.
