Thank you. No, it's very tough going now. I'm calling people and talking to them, and it helps. This is just how it's going to be for a while. If I break out crying while talking to someone at work, they'll just have to deal with it. Someone asked me how I am in the usual way, and I just grunted because I didn't want to get into it and give her an honest answer.
