Just read your May post. Waited til I was somewhere quiet. Where I wouldn’t be interrupted. I get the empty platitudes issue. Normally they’re from well meaning people who don’t know what else to say. I live not far from you, and am still shocked at the devastation delivered by the sea. But the WiFi signal booster was pure genius. From adversity comes resiliance. And out of the box thinking. I promise, if I bump into you on my walks around the area, not to say anything banal or empty.
I am so sorry to hear about your flood, and the aftermath. Please don't close down. Talk to someone. Don't let your mental health suffer any more than it already has (from the sound of it). I know it won't feel like it, but this is only a temporary set back in your life.
You still have your health and your family. Please try to look at the positives. 🖖
You talk about closing down, so you probably won't want to hear what I have to say.
But like yourself I too am experiencing a life event.
My father passed away on the 13th (I lost my mum in 2012), so since then I have been sorting out his affairs and everything else.
There is still more to do and I am not sure when it will fully hit me. I have been ploughing on but making time for myself too. And you should too. That's important.
That said, I still have a place to call home. Your place, and all the memories from it, is disrupted and out of place.
But, like me, on our different paths and sleepless nights, you will get there.
As I said before, good luck. And keep the birds away from those repeaters (particularly any pigeons 😉).
