I do believe you need to grieve the losses so you can get on with finding out about all the interesting and wonderful foods you can have. I do believe the greiving processes is important to do and a wonderful book to help is "Against the Grain" by Jax Peters Lowell. Not only is she very funny she will help you with achieving a positive attitude, which I know can sometimes be VERYdifficult. There are a lot of us out here, so just let us know when you need help!
