But isn't it so sad that it is embarrassing to have a "come apart"! Seems like it would help get through the first few months and then again when more reality of "life is new and different" sets in!
I found myself just watching old (I mean really old) movies late at night or when I'm alone and just letting myself have all the feelings I need to. It's really helped me to just keep letting it go over and over. I find it very hard to share my feelings with others or to ask for help; but knowing how important it is not to "carry the feeling", I find a way! I am getting better though.
Tonya, good for you for letting go and being in your feelings and doing what you needed to do! Best wishes for many happy days to come! ma
