Thanks, my squirrelly friend.
I've been dealing with some stuff...the Lord saw fit to take another friend on the fifteenth of January, and I'm not dealing with it very well. I heard about it via email a week after it had happened, thus depriving me of the opportunity to pray her home, as I usually do in such situations. I'm finding it very hard to believe that there's any kind of Divine Being looking out for us right now, because I only heard from the friend who passed at the end of December, and three weeks later I get an email from her mother saying that her three-year battle with anorexia came to an end last Saturday. A month on, I'm finding it tricky to sleep, impossible to pray, and am essentially just about functioning.
Thanks so much for asking...means a lot.

dear Casey
hugs to you, I feel your sadness
so sorry to hear about your friend, it is never easy
you are grieving, see above underlined part, grieving explains those symptoms
all the spiritual explanations in the world, though intended to help do not erase the grief and sadness one feels
this grief and sadness is a necessary part of moving on
you cannot sweep your feelings under "the rug of meditation and thoughts of " there is a time and a reason for everything.
some may feel comforted by these thoughts
some may not
only you know what is helpful to you
if you need to just withdraw from the world for a time, then this is what you must do
just do not stay away too long, you would be missed !
You are in my prayers , take care of you !
your squirrely friend
