I grieved for a while when I broke up with my good friend alcohol.
My good friend who made me stupid, who fractured my relationship with my spouse, who controlled my life in a very bad way.
It's okay to be sad.
You are remaking your life, and that doesn't happen in a blink.
A couple of suggestions: drink a lot of water. Stay hydrated.
Lavender is calming. A couple of sprigs of lavender close by to sniff can be helpful.
Get out into the fresh air. Oxygenate your brain.
Eat when you are hungry.
Do something fun with the kids. Tire them out, which will also tire you out.
Peace.
