But then she'll almost inevitably say, if I could take a pill and feel those feelings again, I would.
If you are serious about making this work then it's your duty to be the "pill." It's nothing you can say, it's all about consistent loving actions. The "pill" doesn't always work but the best side effect is it will heal and grow you. Stop calling her a pod person it skews your perception and closes your mind. You really need to open your mind to possibilities, opportunity and to understand what loving detachment means. To detach you need to realise the two possible outcomes. You need to be prepared for both. You need to be prepared for your own good either way. I saw my DBing efforts as a defining moment in my life and I had a choice in how I handled it. I was going to succeed for myself either way it turned out. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Take care of all your needs - physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. That's strong when you can deal with all this and carry on your everyday life. It's honorable when you can thrive doing it. You can handle it. Cheers Coach
