Just hang in there! If you really want her to come back then you might have to wait it out and keep up what you're doing at the same time. There are many here who have been here for months even years and as scarey as that prospect might be if she does return it'll be worth the pain, tears and hard work. And you know you will have stood for whats important to you and you kids.
