Sugar women will sometimes go down into the well.
How long? It depends. I've seen it happen for a week, two weeks and more.
I always tell my wife I'm here at the edge when you're ready to come back out.
I never try to pull her out. It just takes time and I wait patiently.
Maybe this is happening with you? It's hard to define except you withdraw into yourself.
Men don't go into the well like women but we do need to go on what the Australian Aboriginals call a "walkabout".
Time away from it all to reconnect with our primal instincts of exploring and hunting.
I go alone into the wilderness at least a couple times a year.
I'm thinking of you Sugar and know it's hard. We're all right here for you.
Get some good sleep and write soon!!
