I'm so sorry about it-- the loss, the sadness. And I know a bit about that refocusing and human-ing and having things thrown at one's feet. This life is baffling.

Condolences for your loss.  For me, it is more the lost opportunities that I lament.  My aunt died 15 months ago.  Cancer; merely in the autumn of life.  I hardly knew her, so its not like there is an absence in my life, but now I won't have the chance to get to know her.

But it is good to see you again.  Welcome back to the feeling, even if it isn't all sunshine and gardens.
