Glad to report that I had no alcohol last night, but cooked a juicy ribeye steak with sauted spinach, followed by a bowl of raspberries topped with plain greek yogurt. Then I went to bed and slept the sleep of the dead for 9 hours. Woke up feeling healthy and energetic today with much of the sadness gone and a little hint of anger instead - which I think is healthy. I believe the 5 phases of grief/loss are denial, bargaining, sadness, anger, acceptance. I've finished with the first two and am on my way to the fifth.
I'm sorry to whine about all this when other people have worse to deal with. But there's been a lot of loss in my life (deaths and divorce) and that aching hollow feeling in the stomach just never gets easier.

No, the aching empty hollow feeling doesn't stop at first but it does go away over time.
I'm sorry that you are having to deal with these feelings.
At the same time, you knew how to take care of yourself last night by making yourself an amazing meal! Good girl!
I too, am glad that you came here to write about this. Very smart!
FYI- There is a baby boomer meetup on 8/2 with swing dancing on the UWS. If you pm me your email, I'll shoot it over to you.
