And I’m getting a headache. I really need to make myself get up out of bed and make myself a coffee.

I can relate to the grief. I've had bouts of wracking sobs, and then times where I'm just feeling empty and lonely. I try to keep it together in front of my kids, but I've been struggling with my mom's death. I know it's going to take time, and I will always miss her, but in time, my heart won't feel quite as broken.
