Today was a bit tough. I almost broke down in the grocery store thinking about Christmas and how I won't be doing H's stocking. All it took was the men's deoderant aisle to trigger it.

I'm a bit obsessed at the moment about the stages of the MLC and where my H is in the process. What signs should I be looking for in him to know where he's at?
It would seem he is in the darkest part of the tunnel right now and I hope he doesn't stay there much longer! Or that it doesn't get darker which it certainly has the potential to do.
I'd really appreciate any feedback on this from anyone with more experience/knowledge on these stages.
