Sending you strength to get through your sadness!
This makes perfect sense to me - I think water has a cathartic quality we are naturally drawn to. (Especially ocean/salt water which gives you the sense of being fully cleansed inside & out when you swim in it.) I think your method of 'letting go' is wonderful!
