I wish I could say the same, but I haven't gotten much better. It's been three months, now. There's not nearly the amount of tears flowing as there was, but the sadness hasn't eased much. I have been kinda isolated, and I suppose that hasn't helped things, but I just haven't had the desire to do anything. And, I am sure not gonna meet anyone new sitting here at the house. I just don't think I'm there yet. Not that I don't desire a companion, I just haven't gotten there emotionally, and that could lead to some problems, so I'm gonna give it some time. I'm just getting past the probate, accounts name changings, medical bills paying-off phase, which was very tough. It felt like I was erasing Carol's presence from the world, which I guess I kinda was, but I just felt a little guilt in having to do so.
