Grief is never easy to deal with, and can be a real challenge. Thanks for sharing the story of your journey, and it's nice to read that you feel in a much better place.

I really liked the quote above, and will try to bear in mind. It's too easy to entangle ones self identity with all the mistakes of life and to constantly and harshly blame yourself.
