But step back and take it one day at a time. I sorta know what you are going through.......to a degree. I'm still trying to grasp losing my Mom, Dad, Brother and my two best friends in a span of 7 years. When my Mom passed away, I remember a few days after the smoke cleared, it hit me. I had lost my Mom, Dad and only Brother. Yes, I still had my Wife and boys but it was still a weird feeling that I had to grasp. What works for me is what you said....ALWAYS think of the good times. My family had its share of some pretty bad times. Like I said, it was a soup sandwich. But somehow, it's always the good times that surface in my memory. The weird surreal feelings that are happening to you, I can promise, will return over n over again. In fact, what I do....I like to bring up good times in my head even when things are not bothering me. Don't be ashamed if it brings a smile and even a giggle when in a Grocery Store and people think you're nuts. Let the good times / memories flow. It REALLY helps. I know I'm rambling but I DO get what you are going through. And as I, you...MANY of right here know, this Board is a great place to vent.
