You are right. This is essentially a question of mourning.
I have managed to do some mourning and now I don't feel so bad.

Also, as an Aspie, I find it much easier to cope when I have a plan.
I have found a way to scrape up three thousand dollars over the next couple of months, and that puts me back in control of the finances.
