@Soupe du jour Congratulation with the new house! If it becomes too burdensome with workers going in and out, maybe you can take a walk or only find a place outside to be alone with your thoughts?

Oh yes, the grief will come and that is OK. Let it come when it comes. It is the persons who fail to let grief in that have problems later. I missed my father for a long period after he was gone.

Send my best wishes for you and your husband!
