Hi. I have been through this myself. It's not easy concentrating on work when something really messy has happened. I started to exercise a lot. Really pushing my body. That was good for me and kept me on the right track.

Yes. Especially running. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15769301 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15769301 Also, if you take an hour to just write it all down, often that is enough to cease rumination. Another technique is to identify what is going to change before you can do something about the problem, and then when it comes to mind, remind yourself that you can do something when x happens.

Ditto. I was going through a separation / divorce and I just went to the gym religiously. I found sleeping was way easier when your body was tired. It also kept my mind fresh. Also, talk to your friends and share your feelings and a few beers.
