WOW that is exactly how I felt for my H. He was always my safe place to land and now that is destroyed. I guess I never should of held him on a pedistal (quietly as he thinks I made him feel worthless)....times like this are humbling for sure and I agree that this is my opportunity to focus on me and if I am able to save my M while doing this....well that's a plus
