Just keep swimming...PH #4

Wow, Pearl -
(((((((hugs))))))
I don't think I'm in the position to offer up any great nuggets of advice to you right now, but I do think it's very natural for us to have vacilating feelings and emotional reactions to this process. It's just that - a process. If it were completely black and white, we'd have made our decisions long ago.

I respect you for being able to hear those feelings and sit with them for a while. Don't push them away - they need to be processed.

Whatever you decide, the decision is YOURS. You are the one that will be your own guaranteed companion throughout this life and you should be happy with you!

Your friends probably think they are best supporting you by venting and saying those things. It's hard to just listen without judgement when someone you care about is going through a painful time. They probably think it's making you feel better!

Thinking of you!
