I was thinking of you, too. I think you should read the book I'm reading - it's written by a writing professor (instead of a shrink thank God!) - and I think it would speak to you as it has to me. She knows her craft, and her treatment of the grief journey has a clarity and tenderness I think you would appreciate. It's "Seven Choices - Finding Daylight After Loss Shatters Your World" by Elizabeth Harper Neeld, Ph.D. I'm well over 100 pages into it - all the other grief books I tried just couldn't hold my attention - too much psychobabble or unrealism - and I couldn't relate to them. This one is different, and as a writer and former professor, I think you would appreciate it on many levels. Just a thought.... We're under a tornado watch today - and I'm trying not to get stressed over it. I hate them.... I know you don't much about Knoxville, how about Chattanooga? See, my searches keep getting closer to where you are! Still looking for answers to so many questions it seems. Love and Hugs!
