Oh, Emily. I can't even begin to imagine your pain. I have both of my parents, and I can't ever think what it would be like to lose them, especially if it was sudden.

Listen to your heart. You'll know what is best for you and your body. However, after following your struggle to return to the bike after the dog incident, I hate to see you throw it away. So, put the bike away for now, but don't shut the door.

Take this time for yourself. I feel so sad for your situation.
