Now this it not to negate your feelings in any way, I repeat, not to negate what you are feeling as I would feel the exact same way I promise. But you just have to focus on the fact that (1) you have a husband who will be home with your shortly and (2) that there was a party you were at least invited to and know that you can go next year. I have not been invited anywhere, holidays or not, surely not the 4th of July, probably in 10 years.
Just think this time next year, you are finally going to be OKAY. That is what I think all of us want, just to be OKAY, it does not seem like too much to ask for, huh? But why is it so hard to get there? I am sorry you are feeling down, on top of probably the anxiety you are feeling about this new adventure ahead - recovery.
Thinking of you...........................
Love, Cindy
