Glad to hear about your W having these insights; that is a positive step, though as you note it's too soon to jump for joy. Still, you can be heartened by what you've heard so far. It's somewhat encouraging, and I'm happy for you and for her. Sounds like she's growing too. The question will be whether you can grow together, grow closer.
Keep up the GAL. Not everything will make you happy, nor will you want to do certain things again. However, I'm convinced that the key is to get ourselves out there, to put ourselves into new situations and see what happens. If we don't like something, move on to something else. But keep trying! Better than sitting at home all the time curled up in despair. There's time for despair, to be sure, but it cannot be the focus of our lives.
Keep going forward, even if you fall back on occasion, and keep us updated.
