He electrocuted Topsy the elephant. They'll say "awww, Topsy" at my autopsy...

It's one of the most miserable things to go through, and there's really no way around grief-you just have to go through it. The truth of it is that this is your FREEDOM that's come for you, only you don't want it right now. But you will someday, and it will be amazing when that mental switch happens. I promise, one day you'll be back to being fabulous, single you. I recall going through a horrible break up and feeling sick and miserable for months. Now, looking back to nearly 30 years ago, I have some of the most soft and bittersweet memories of that time, of who I was, and of what I went through. Some day, you will as well. Be gentle with yourself, grieve well, and when you're able to, allow yourself to be distracted from the sadness.
