Good points, Joanie!
Slow, try reading the funny papers; listening to a nice "up" radio channel; and maybe watching some funny or action-packed movies to get some relief. Set some milestones to accomplish and then accomplish them, such as getting your new trailer frame ready and getting the new deck attached; getting some solar or other electrical run to your new-to-you house trailer. Try a new food or make up a new recipe. (Some men have discovered that they love cooking and are sometimes better cooks than women.) Get outside in the light every day and get some exercise. (That's not difficult for a farmer-boy to do.) Knowing you used to go to church, get back to doing that; but, maybe at a nearby church. Talk to your local preacher(minister). It's part of his job, to listen and counsel his parishioners. Think of what you have learned and gained by being in this past relationship and be glad that you learned and gained those things. Maybe you saw different things, learned to do something that you had never tried; or maybe you tried a little harder to get a job and/or save money. You still have that gained knowledge and those learned abilities and you discovered that someone will offer you a job and you can save money.
There's a lot that you can do to make yourself feel better and make your life better. Feeling sorry for yourself leads you down into a cesspool. Stay away from that.
This, too, shall pass. Just give it a little time.
Oh, I forgot something. If you can, eat chocolate. Maybe get or make some brownies or something. Chocolate has the same chemical in it as the body makes when you are in love and that can take the edge off to help you adjust to your loss. So, why not eat a brownie every day for a while?!
