Detaching is a ongoing process. Without a doubt you should hold onto hope. For the longest time I thought by detaching I was giving up hope but I am realizing slowly but surely that you can detach and still hold onto hope. My therapist recently gave me a copy of a chapter from a book about codependence. At first I thought why is she giving this to me, I am not codependent. But in reading the chapter I realized that it applies to anyone who is having a difficult time detaching. Detaching not only in my sitch but in life is something I am working to overcome. I understand that worrying or trying to control a person or problem will not only not change it but it will drive me crazy.
