Thank you Tydyn, it's been a shock to me too but I decided the very moment it happened (I was online at the time) that I would do my best to skip over all the stages of grief and just to to acceptance. That doesn't mean I didn't explore my options, but once it became clear it was over, I made my peace.
If I'm honest with myself, I'll admit it's disheartening and painful, but it's been a great encouragement, all the support and help I've gotten. And time away for a week also helped me sort things out. Lots going on IRL and the timing of this is not a small thing. I can't really think about loosing all the assets, but rather think about all there is to be thankful for. That's what I mostly blog about anyway!
Rather than just being "alive", it's time to be GRATEFUL. Appreciate the auto-votes, I have to build back my following! :-)
