Dear Eirinn,

I had to see how you are doing. It does always seem to be easier to help others than yourself. I guess it's because others can look at one of our sitches with an objective point of view.

I understand why you feel like you are drowning. I would, too.

But here's the good news. If you work through the process of grief, you will come to the point of rebuilding and resolution. Then your focus will shift from the past to the future. And you are working on that, as painful as it can be.

I'm throwing a life-preserver over-board for you.

Please, by all means, try not to think too far ahead and attempt to keep a PMA.
