Sorry for your loss, Rob. As with !@#$%!, words fail me. My grandfather died in October, but we didn't have much of a relationship (emotional coldness is kind of a pattern on my father's side of the family), so I didn't and still don't quite know how I feel about it, as harsh as that sounds. All I can do is wish you much strength to pull through in those trying times.
I'm somewhat sad because I feel like I'm developing feelings for someone, but I'm really not in a state to let someone into my life right now - personal demons to battle, trying to be cool with myself again before I want to extend that to someone else. Depressive episodes and increased social anxiety had been piling up towards the end of last year. It's gotten better, but I still feel some of the aftershocks from time to time. And I just don't want to accidently impose my current emotional bullshit on someone I seem to be fond of.
