@otroo:

I'm glad to hear you are back to taking your meds regularly and eating regularly. Your functionality will come back slowly but it sounds like you are doing well with it. I know it's hard to be patient but things can only unfold in their own time. It doesn't do any good to try and force things. Like a butterfly emerging from it's chrysalis can only come out on it's own time. I think you're getting some signs that you're progressing with your grief. Treasure each small step you make, like talking about your wife in group without crying. I know it's not the same thing but when i got divorced it was really hard changing gears from being in a couple to being single but once i'd made the transition i was okay. I waver now and again but overall i'm okay being single. You're still changing gears. Be easy on yourself and congrats on healing the rift with your daughter!
