I tend to be hard-headed about what's happened, esp. when there's nothing I can do about it.

I still have moments of extreme sorrow, tears, the whole nine yards. But they happen less often than before. Sometimes I don't even know what the trigger was...
Sometimes I still feel very close to him, as though he were here. Then I feel so happy...So, I'm up and down, just at longer intervals than before.

I'm sorry that you're having that much distress...It makes me wish I had a magic wand.
