Yes, I think you'll be overwhelmed and sad for awhile, Luv. Each week will get a little easier, though, trust me. I can see how hard you're working, and it will pay off- keeping busy, relying on friends here, etc. will help you through.

Good morning everyone...I had a rough afternoon yesterday. I felt like bursting into tears at several different moments but I composed myself. I guess after talking to my atty and hearing of Mr. Luv's atty it hit me. What do I expect huh?

Today is a very busy day for me. I am getting ready to go for a morning swim and then I have lots of work to do. I have been avoiding like the plague packing up Mr. Luv's things frown

I will try and get some shopping in for me and I've got some girlfriends coming over for a couple beers tonight. I'm looking forward to that.

I have a sinking feeling inside that I'm battling but I'm really appreciating everyone's support here. I know it gets hard after a while..being on the boards...like...does anyone have anything good to say? I want to get there soon.


Good for you for making plans w/your friends! I hope you can do more of that each week so you stay busy and have support around you. Packing the stuff sucks- is there anyone who can help you or would you rather do it alone? Do your crying when you need to- I think I did most of mine weeks ago even before the bomb and feel cried out now. But you have to do it at some point - get all that hysterical sobbing, completely out of control sadness out--- and then eventually you will be past that phase but still sad. Obviously, there are better or worse times to break down (I'm thinking not in front of H certainly), but if you have time to yourself or with people you trust, it's ok to let the floodgates go. You might even feel a tiny bit of relief afterwards.

I know money is tight but do you have an IC or anyone you can talk to now? Also, you sound depressed (not surprising- what's amazing is that you are still up and kicking despite everything going on)- ever looked into that to check out options? I don't mean to diagnose or sound like a pharmacy pusher, but ADs have greatly helped me- esp through this time- and others- and it might be worth looking into, even just short term.

((((Luv))))

take care of you--

Alice


When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go;
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow;
Go ask Alice...
I think she'll know.
