> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > It still hasn’t really sunk in yet. Feels like a dream. I’m just going about my day like everything is normal. I’m sure this is all going to slam into me like a truck at some point, but right now I’m still sort of dissociated. It might be useful to revise the [Kübler-Ross](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model) stages of grief, to be aware of the surprises that your psyche could throw at you in the future. This model isn’t hard and fast, and in particular individuals may cycle in and out of its stages repeatedly, but it is helpful. Good luck. ---

**Dio** , that’s my worst nightmare. I am so sorry for your loss, I really am. You will be in my thoughts. I don’t know what it could be, but if there is anything I, or any of us Dopers could do, rest assured we will do it. If you have to make a long drive, try to sleep some beforehand, or at least have a good meal, and some music to keep you awake along the way. Take care of your health, so you can come back when you feel like it and post with us. ---
