Hi ((((Amanda)))),

First of all, I want to say I'm sorry for you and your family's loss... It's never easy to lose a loved one...

I know exactly what you mean about life's curveballs... I lost my job 2 weeks ago. I loved my job and was very content to stay for a long while. I've never said that about a job before, so it felt like a shot to the gut when I found out I was being laid off...

So basically I'm going through the same thing, just for a different reason. It's been miserably hot here too- in the 90s but w/ humidity, so I understand how you feel about not wanting to ride your bikes...

We will get through it... There's lots of good advice already shared on this thread and I really don't have much to add, but I wanted you to know that you are not the only one feeling this way.
