What Jinger said, be gentle with yourself. Treat yourself like you'd treat a dear friend. Cut her some slack. You've lost a beloved parent. Sometimes you wlll cry because of Murphy, sometimes out of frustration, maybe because of the numbers aren't doing what they're supposed to. Don't forget to let yourself just cry for your dad, no numerical explanation required. You’ve done fabulously throughout this journey.

Now you are rebuilding it, and your life. Hang in there - both will take time... but you are off to an excellent start and have good goals in place and the ability to meet them. In a month or two, things will look and feel better for you. Just hang in there in the meantime :) Best wishes! Your emergency fund was there when you needed it and did what it was supposed to do.

Time now to replenish and boost, as you say. Perhaps immersing yourself in the numbers, the everyday minutea, and focusing on the things you have control over will help with the healing.

That will help carry you through this time of feeling so disconnected. When I lost my mom 5 years ago, I wasn’t prepared (no one is, of course) for the myriad of ways it would impact me. Had I had concrete financial goals already in place like you do, it would have helped me during those times when making any financial decisions seemed overwhelming.

Emptying my emergency fund is enough to send me into a downward spiral. That you're able to think so clearly and stay so focussed after all you've been through in the past two months is truly inspiring.
