This need not be the end.

Barry, give yourself permission to be sad. But don't stay there long.

Just wanted to drop by to "x 2" Theoden's post.

Remember that when we're in the thick of our sitches, we are thinking mostly with emotion. Theoden has given you words of wisdom rooted in logic and reason. It's easier for him/us to see things clearly because we are not emotionally invested in your sitch AND we've been where you are.

It's damn good advice.
