Oddly enough, Facebook helped. Commiseration with others helped assuage some of the despondency.
Many friends of mine were feeling as I was, or even worse. Some of us decided to bring our virtual support group into real life. We met at a favorite bar for beers. It was good to see good friends.
The pain lingers today. I'm still despondent, shocked, angry. A couple of times, I have squelched the urge to scream.
Yesterday, most of the people I saw were just going through the motions. (Which, for most of the day, was more than I was capable of.) Today, people are coming to grips with this reality. But the anguish continues. You can feel it in the air.
