The little things are going to be the hardest

[jducoeur]

I just went to my Facebook page, and realized another little trauma that I'll have to deal with eventually. I've been putting off removing my wedding ring -- I'll have to eventually (maybe after the Memorial Service), but that's *hard*. And now I realize that someday I'm going to have to change my FB Relationship Status to "single". I'm honestly unsure which of those is going to be more difficult. There are dangers in being sensitive to symbolism, and both of these are powerful symbols -- one very classic, one very modern.

(I *am* still having a broadly good week. But the little notes of melancholy still lurk around the edges...)

A bunch of people have provided good advice that I agree with. I just wanted to point out that if there weren't those little notes of melancholy, I'd worry about you a lot more. Don't wallow in it; don't ignore it or reject it; seek and accept support when you need it; you seem to be maintaining a good balance.

Yes - very much so.
