You know your wife is on a journey.
You can not accompany her.
You can not shadow her.

I am very sensitive to what she wrote because of my own history and now, I am watching my sister begin a MLC of her own...but all my understanding can't help her and that's hard for me to take but a MLCer is very much alone no matter how many people surround them and care. That's just the way it is and, I believe, has to be.

So do you suppose maybe now is the time for you to throw it in neutral and take your hands off the wheel...?
