> That's what my therapist says. Unfortunately a big emotional mess will mean a big real life - work and financial and family - mess that I just can't afford. I'm not sure if I can avoid it, but I am sort of frantic in trying.
If you don't mind my saying it, that sounds like your OCD talking. I bet if you asked your boss and family for time off to really grieve, I mean fall apart grieving, they'd say OK (you are bright and capable - they'll wait for you), Family Leave Act notwithstanding. Balancing all those emotional balls is stressing you out big time. Let them drop, sit down, take a few deep breaths, have a big cry, and rest for awhile before you pick them up again.
Either way, franticly or catharticly, I have a feeling you'll climb out of this one too.
