Hi, I just wanted to say say how much I also appreciate this dialogue on guilt. I have also sure struggled, and continue to struggle, with it. Guilt and the feeling that I was after all mistaken and wrong in my decision to leave. Right or wrong, I did it, and I try hard to honor the decision I made. In action, I stay true to my decision; but in thought, it’s a struggle. I appreciate the reminders that the guilt will subside with time. I think it might be happening a little the more I focus on my life now.

This discussion seems to reveal how common it really is which, though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, feels somehow comforting. Knowing that it’s a common phase of the journey and that it won’t last forever.
