Hello EM - I hope you had a successful and fulfilling trip to Germany. The tone of your recent post seems accepting and more upbeat although your sense of loss does come through. It is the same for me as well. Things are not great but they could be a lot worse and I find myself not only getting by, but having moments of contentment and happiness amidst the sadness that still nags. It's not an easy road but we appear to be making progress. The healing process is indeed underway.
