That is probably the biggest challenge in ending a relationship for me.
Mourning the loss ENOUGH to gain healing and a new perspective, BUT not so long enough that you wallow in it and become despondent in your grief.

yeah, well...nevertheless, you thought of it and you did it.
Doing something new and different...changing a lifestyle a little at a time....you are doing brave things and it's normal to feel uncomfortable while you are making those changes. That will pass and you will naturally learn to do things that are good for you.
Criminy...I paniced at just not answering the phone when he would occasionaly call.
I paniced driving roads where I was afraid of seeing him.
It gets easier, I promise!
as for mourning...just bite it off a little chunk at a time, it is a natural process...so I have a what will be will be attititude about that.
as the slogan says" take it easy
you are on a new path to make a beautiful life for yourself

blush..thank you
I am just feeling spunky tonight.
Too bad we can't run off to go get a pedicure! That massage chair just melts all the tension and I get shiny toenails! I'd be cruising through the magazines looking for a new haircut..it's time!
I am going to go watch "Pillars of the Earth" I loved that book and just bought the sequel...

I have an appt to see my therapist next week. I have been reading Melody Beattie's book and journaling too.

i found, when in the "dark" days, that when i showed up at a little family dinner or something, it helped immensely. i remember sitting at a restaurant, and i actually laughed. i had a moment of clarity, that this is what i need to do - to be with people who love me. being connected to those people is part of my identity and i never want to lose sight of that.
