She's Gone - No Contact (Part 2)

Ooops - Michelle and I cross-posted. (although I think we said almost exactly the same thing, so I hope it's helpful to you K)

OK one more quick post then I'll shush so you can catch up..

I would have just prolonged this grief, but if I hadn't driven by there I would still be happy and hopeful.

I think this is a key statement - you're tying "happy" with "hopeful about this R." Be happy, be hopeful about your future. That will come with healthy detachment.

I talked to about 6 different friends yesterday, all with varying advice.

I forgot to add - great job reaching out for support. I'm glad to see it as it's so important.

Thank you both. All great advice. All difficult to do. I'm not sure why I'm reluctant to "let her go." I will read the coping stuff tonight. I'm off to the shrink and a class at the university.

Thanks again. It is so helpful and supportive to have you all. I don't even know you and you are lifesavers (angels).

(((k))) Have a good time talking to the C and have fun in class!

It is very difficult to do. It takes time and effort. Self-introspection is actually pretty exhausting sometimes. But you can do it! And you WILL be fine.
