Thank you so much for your thoughtful post. It makes me feel so much better to hear all these things from people like you, Yellowrose, DawnofHope, PeaceToday, SilnetCheerleader and others who have moved further down this path than I.
I cannot seem to accept in my heart and gut that I really have to let him go. I just cannot seem to make myself do it. I feel as though the only chance of him ever coming back to me will be if I somehow stay in his life. My DB coach says to reach out to him occasionally for walks because the depressed won't reach out.
I am so confused and really hurting a lot. How does any LBS survive this?
