I find myself in the dreaded “now what” phase after Phil’s passing. You would think it would be easier since I had experienced it with Jordan as well. If anything it is worse this time around.

I found myself falling into the same trap and finding an immediate and new thing to pour my energies into and stopped myself twice already. To varying degrees

I don't know what to say or how to reply ... You've loved and lost a person I never met. My heart breaks for you, but we seem to be very different people since the last time we saw each other, which I believe was when we shared Mexican food with Jordan. I've grown to accept I'm destined to be alone, so it would be foolish of me to think I have words that would comfort you. Just know, from my end of this I still think of you as a friend and wish you only the best in life ...

My father died when my mother was about 58. I remember a conversation I had with her about a month later where she essentially said I now have to focus on living my life constructively. She got very involved in the League of Women Voters and played lots of bridge and socialized with friends. She did have a couple of short-lived relationships. She lived for 35 years after his death - alone in her manhattan apartment.
