Best of luck to you and the other survivors. The good news, such small comfort as it is, is that there’s really not much now that needs to be done in an all-fired hurry. The sudden slowing of the pace is disorienting at first, but you’ll probably welcome it soon. ---

Even though I’m not religious, bless you @Loach. It is an adjustment, but she will always be with you in your heart. ---
