Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. I sincerely appreciate them.

I will consider grief counseling, although my therapist offered it to me after I called her to cancel my appointment for today. She said I can call her at any time and that she'll be there for me, which was very generous of her.

I'll actually be traveling overseas because my grandmother's remains will be transferred to and buried where she was born. It's a very long flight from Boston. I'll be gone for a little while, but at least I'll be with my aunt, uncle, cousins, etc for support.

Row Jimmy -- Sorry for your loss and thank you for your sage advice.
