I am so glad that you have been keeping busy. It is my guess that is really helping you more than you think. Laughing (IMHO) is the best distraction\medicine\therapy you can have and I am glad that you are finding it.
I am so happy that the kids came out and have started helping with the preparations for the house to sell. It sounds like it would be alot of work on your own (almost impossible money\time), I know it would be for me if I if I had to do it here.
Sunny days are ahead. They may seem a million miles, but they are coming. One day at a time, one minute if need be.
Super big Hugs,
Rain
