N, Set backs happen, but you had a lot going on w/your pup dying and then the ow doing her emails, etc., but you know what? You survived and are going to be okay. Yes, it hurts terribly that your pup is gone, but the memories will carry you through some of the darkest days you'll ever know. Pull them out whenever you are hurting...those memories will comfort you.
As for the ow, she's a side order in his life and that house of cards built on a sand dune, well.....it's already starting to tumble down. I don't think they realize just how tough it is to find work right now. It's not just in your area, but all over. I don't think his family will be happy to have them stay w/them for a long period of time and you know what? They all need to really see what is going on.
As for you n, you are going to be okay. Don't rush the process. The activities that you are going to be doing are a great way to get back into the thick of things. Take your time, choose what you want to do and just enjoy. Healing takes a very long time and you have to do it on your clock, not theirs or ours.
Hugs!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
