LO--I totally felt the same way when things started coming back together with my H. It feels much different than you think it will because reality can't erase all the hurt/pain/fear. But you do have the knowledge and power needed to sail over those hurdles.

1-Continue to take care of you.
2-Keep your head out of the past/pain/fear of the future--keep your eyes on the ball (here and now) with the realization that it's possible you might get knocked down again, but it's also possible that this is for real. Either way, focusing on the hurt won't make you whole. It's a choice, and it's entirely your responsibility.
3-Take it a day at a time.

Best wishes! I hope this is a new beginning for you.
