I'm sorry for your troubles. You don't say how many you're prepping
for, Dawn, but if you're truly not much for a celebration -- on a day
for celebrating -- get outside yourself and find a place to volunteer
for the day. My sister's beloved husband died couple days after
Thanksgiving and every year since she's helped out at the Salvation Army
dinner site in Phoenix, I think. She loves it.
