Hi, I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like it's been really hard and I'm surprised that you've managed to find comfort in seeing some meaning in it all.

I think a vacation would be lovely; but I struggle to think that it's going to help you move on. From my own experiences, grief isn't something we ever 'get over'. Instead it just gets easier to deal with and live with. Some days (like in the beginning, or anniversaries/birthdays) it fills your day and feels painful, where as others - you might find it easier.

I think the very best advice that I've been given is to be patient and kind with yourself. Look out for the days where you are feeling better and know that there are always people out there to talk to.
