Bravo, Cary!
LW, my heart goes out to you.
And Cary, you nailed it. There is all sorts of good, useful advice in the letters here, but first you need to allow yourself to grieve. And don't put timelines on when you "should" move on or figure out next steps. It will happen when it's right for you, and then maybe you can revisit some of the excellent ideas in these letters and see what feels right.
The Pema Chodron book is an excellent suggestion; another resource that has helped me through challenging times is "Dark Nights of the Soul," by Thomas Moore. Wonderful stuff.
Take care of yourself.
