Thank you, Venus. You're right, and I know it, I just needed to hear it, I suppose. No, I wouldn't just want to bounce right back into life so quickly as if nothing happened. But it's just brutal to feel like this, especially long-term. And you're also right about most of the happy-happies seeming to be a little shallow. The ones I know anyway. Not saying they all are.

Thanks again for taking the time to give a thoughtful comment!
