I read them all. Age is a struggle at time; but loss and the remodel can be even more of a burden.

Give yourself time to grieve. Give yourself time to regain your emotional and physical stamina. Time does heal. So many good words from people on this thread. Read them over, and maybe read them over again to be sure they sink in. With me, reading once is enlightening, but reading a second or third time often surprises me with what I missed the first time through.

Good luck to you you. Hang in there. It will get better.....with time and patience.
