How do I get back into VR?

So a while back I had a few friends I met in VRChat, who are honestly the nicest people I know. Recently 1 committed suicide and another has almost and after I and a few mutual friends talked her out of it, she cut contact with everyone on discord. Because I only ever knew them in VR, VR has just been to emotional to go into. I have a plan to get back in (just ease into online vr by first playing HL: Alyx, then Pavlov as none of my friends have it, then back into vrc in game lobby's) but if anyone else has a better idea, could you please say in the comments?
