Christine � there are certainly down days but there are good ones ahead, too. Take time to give yourself compassion and to heal at your own pace. Tomorrow the sun will shine and warm your heart. There is a really good little book of quotes by people who have suffered losses of one kind or another. It helped me through many �down� days while going through divorce and afterwards. It�s called �How to Survive the Loss of a Love� by McWilliams, Bloomfield and Colgrove. I found myself referring to various pages in the book from time to time and even started my own diary of similar thoughts encouraged by the ones in the book. It�s just a small, inexpensive little book and available at Amazon. I think it would help.
