Keep at it, one step at a time. It does get easier, though there are still plenty of ups and downs. I've been separated for six months, and W is depressed as can be as far as I can tell. I'm there for her if she needs me, but the key is not to get too excited by the peaks out of the tunnel. My W has done this recently, and I'm taking it in stride. You must get to a point where the ups and downs start to even out a bit more. The ups don't get you as far up, and the downs don't bring you down as much as they used to. At least that's my case, and I think it's key to getting through this. Keep working on yourself, and finding ways to create your own happiness each day. That's all any of us can do, and if we don't do it we will be a wreck.
