Hang in there, anon. Thanks for protesting. And congrats on the engagement! Hearing stories of people with their heads in the right places carrying on with their lives (b/c whatcha gonna do?? We have to live) always makes me feel a little better.

Thanks! Went perusing for rings for the first time today. Seeing the S/O try one on was special form of clarifying excitement.

As for carrying on… yes, it’s a level of “we have to live”. On the best days, having happy moments are good to rebuild a sense of bearing. On the worst days, carrying on is as most others do in already-worse scenarios. Somewhere in the middle provides room for thinking about responses to “what-if” scenarios.
