There is no OM other than an old friend who is helping her through this. She sees him once a week for an employment thing. She texts him a lot, but I think he just tells her what she wants to hear.
Orich - I really don't want to add to your grief today - really bro just trying to be here for you - but that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Puppy??
Oh, I've already told him the same thing, long ago. People never want to believe there's an OM, but I think it makes it MUCH less painful when you read (or hear) the words that O got today in this letter. Because when there is an emotional attachment to an OM, physiologically, the brain changes COMPLETELY, and it explains why they've been walled off from you, and it also explains that the hurtful words are just so much gaslighting b.s.
