CS, Welcome to the Surviving board and at first... it truly is surviving.
I'm not sure if you posted a thread on the newcomers section but just by looking at signature.. holy crap - did everything happen super fast.
6 months is nothing in this game. Give yourself time to grieve. Give yourself some grace.
You are super emotional right now and rightfully so. The best advice given to me was to initiate a 24-48 hr rule. I would get so angry that I wanted to write xw an email with my thoughts or retaliate to something stupid she did... I found that if I waited a few days - I would cool off and be able to handle the situation in a calmer way. One that was true to my character and who I wanted to be.
Because things will continue to hurt. It's just unfortunately part of it... But you get decide who you want to be now. How you want to handle the situations that arise.
Start there. Consider this a new chapter in your life.. and think about what you would like it to say.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
