My heart is breaking
 
I asked my rAH to leave this morning and he did. It is what needed to happen, but I am just an emotional wreck.

Nineteen years.

Sending support!

It most often gets harder before it gets better. Stay the course and you will come out the other side.

This is a kind of pain that few can fathom unless they've lived it, we know.

Gentle hugs to you.

I'm so sorry, Lyssy. Be kind to yourself this evening and tomorrow. Thinking of you.

I am so sorry. Keeping you in my positive thoughts.

That deep grief you're experiencing is normal, and so, so hard. I'm sorry, Lyssy. Nineteen years is a long time. Go easy on yourself, and stick around here tonight if you need to. Thinking about you, and praying for some peace for you.

Lyssy, I'm just so sorry. Warm thoughts and prayers heading your way...

I'm sorry, Lyssy, I know how much it hurts. You did what you had to do, but that doesn't make it any easier.

((((((( big big hugs ))))))))))

Lyssy-

Thinking of you right now. I'm facing the same decision, with my love of five years.

I just keep repeating to myself...

I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need.

god bless...

Very sorry.

Hugs to you. Its hard, it sucks, but its the right decision. I dunno if the pain gets better, or lessens, it hasn't for me, but it has become bearable. I no longer feel like I am bent over double with the pain of it. Just keep repeating over and over and over to yourself....You did the right thing. You did the right thing....because as much as it hurts....you really did the right thing. Right now it probably feels like you cannot breathe, like you've been punched in the gut and your future is just wiped out. I promise you it has not been. Take it slow, give into the tears and just let yourself cry. It helps. Just get through a few minutes at a time and love yourself a little extra. Have a long hot shower, or a nice soak in the tub. You can do this, you can bear this.

Sending happy thoughts your way, take care.

Lyssy---I know about this kind of pain, also. It is a necsessary and unavoidable passage that will lessen and fade away in it's own time. It is actually the beginning of the healing process.

You did what had to be done--and, I know that you realize this.

Now is the time to lean on all that love you.

We all love you. You are not alone!
