another thought that hit me today...and part of the reason I've been going through what I've been feeling...
When I let go, I let go of the woman that harmed me...I still hadn't let go of the woman that loved me - and with whom I was in love...
Letting go leaves room to see more of oneself - to be calm - to face fears - and to figure out what one really has to do next - not in terms of the lost spouse - but in terms of oneself...so I guess I'm just hitting another stage of letting go - a kind of latent stage that I didn't have to come to until I was ready...I suppose I'm ready now...and so the sadness comes...and so I feel it, heal, and grow. The process doesn't change...just what it is that I'm processing.
