Hi Tia,
You may still be in a state of greif. That's Ok, you suffered a loss and maybe need to go through this. Life changes like that can have a lasting affect. I can't pretend to be all that smart about your particular situation. A lot of us appreciate you being around and want you to be happy. So to that end, maybe a few care packages of batteries
.
You know you you can be with someone and still be lonely. That's worse. It's that sole mate we all seek, that is hard to find. Or we had one once and they're gone for some reason.
It's usually easy for a girl to get laid if she wants. For guys, sometimes a good fuck helps a bit. That's not the long term answer of course. Other things that help include shopping or some quality time with your vibrator.
You have family and I think you have a good support group between friends and the people you work with. In this biz, we're kinda alone at the computer a lot.
Never forget about Tia here. So here's a cyber hug!
Fred
