I totally get #1, although I've not experienced that myself. You explained it very well, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe that feeling. Very brave of you.

I think #2 was shock finally settling in. I say that because it was after the funeral and you were probably letting down from being so strong. It takes a lot to get through the activities surrounding a funeral.

As for #3, we all need hope anywhere we can find it.

I am so sorry you are going through this, I am sure it is a tough road.
