On the other side and if you can call it that, you are extremely lucky to have sold your house so quickly in this market. Shit hit the fan now, but I've had a house listed that'll be coming up to 6 months in two days without any offers. With the current economical situation, along with things like that unsold house, current home we are living in and all the other expenses etc., it's all a bit fuckin' nuts and can feel overwhelming.
It is what it is - you just gotta stay strong and push through it. You will never forget her but you learn to cope with it. All you can do is focus on the future.
