lmdi (finally got your name right...lol),

Look, I would never expect you to be able to GAL or anything like it right now. You have to get past the emotions first, and that will take time, but the sooner the better.
As for the friends thing, I TOTALLY understand. I am in the same boat. All my friends are either married with busy lives or single and not in my life anymore. It would take me a long time to establish some kind of life that didn't center around my work, but it could be done.
You are not wallowing, you are feeling, and feelings come and go. I know you will do more than try.
Look, this doesn't comfort me much either but I will throw it out to you. How many people here that DID get a D say how horrible their lives are now? Um, none that I know of. Think about that...
