You have every reason to feel sorry for yourself. It is so hard when people keep telling you how wonderful and brave and strong you are when you feel anything BUT. You feel like a bowl of jello but to tell them that could worry them and you can't go there. This truly does suck. Now when I meet someone who is going through something I never tell them things like "oh you are so brave/courageous etc" - instead I ask them how they are feeling. The sun will shine another day - at least I know I sure hope so. Until then, rent a tear jerker movie, have a good cry and get lots of sleep.
Hugs
Donna
