I've been thinking a lot about you Carl. Hope you are doing as well as expected, under the circumstances. Like a lot of us, I, too, have had to deal with the death of close ones. The shock and numbness you feel is a good thing, I believe. It helps insulate us from what may be "too much". The numbness helps us cope and get by. Too many people feel that there must be something "wrong" with them if they feel numb, can't concentrate, have "flat" emotion. But I think that it's a positive thing. It isn't forever. Good luck, Carl.
