Something that has helped me is taking a bubble bath, light a bright candle, and turn on the easy listening/light jazz station (even if you don't like it, give it a chance). I know that sounds cliche, but I didn't realize it was possible to relax so well until I did it.

My condolences regarding the funeral. Fasting will allow you to better process things without the interuption of chemical reactions caused by food (i.e. caffine, sugar).

I love reading your blog. You're doing great, and I know you will make it through this.
