Tragic events can bring differing reactions and often whatever reaction a person has is the right one at the time. Time is a healer they say, but I think it's not time, I think it's the mind, the way perspective applies, how we reevaluate and proceed that heals as you seem to be doing here...it takes time though.

Thank you @galenkp, the good and bad moments are starting to balance themselves indeed. unlike those first few awful months!
I do believe hubby is watching over me and will always be a part of my psyche.
Have a great week!
