Sotto, The healing process for each person is different and you can't rush the process. All you can do is feel the pain, work through it and then allow it to wash off your back. Each time you feel the pain, you will notice that you grow stronger and then one day, you'll begin to see the light of day again and can enjoy life once more in a very different way than you do now.
I'm glad you met up w/your divorce group chums and had a nice walk. I think it's really nice that you are hosting a Valentine's Day dinner. It should be a lot of fun and no one will be left alone that evening. Enjoy their company as they will enjoy yours.
Have a great week!
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.
