As difficult as this is, it sounds like you have taken some positive steps to deal with this new normal. You can recognize the disappointment of what "used to be" and "what might have been" and are able to continue on. That shows an amazing adaptability. It must be very difficult. I admire the steps you have taken.

If I may ask, what made the greatest difference for you in being able to move on (i.e., past experiences, suggestions from others)?

Thanks, @hopeful33250. I appreciate the kind words. The biggest difference? Easy - friends and family. And that includes Connect friends! It's the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling supported and cared for.
