Glad you're feeling better. Time is a great healer - hopefully the passage of time will help. There will be Halloween next year and every year - you're right to take the time for yourself...
Which doesn't mean you can't still dress up and post pics here. That way you get the fun of the holiday, lots of compliments and still have your quiet time. If you do some writing and want to share, that would be great, too.
Writing is good! Make sure you write plenty! Good or bad, it doesn't matter! It's good being distracted, so you can get all the somber feelings out of your system. Thanks for the comment, I got a little carried away there.
