Cagz, Choose to stay in the "peace" mode. It is a choice. You are worth it.
I have really discovered a lot of tranquility since my ex mother in law passed away last month. She was the one who died in the motorcycle accident at the age of 52. It made me realize how fragile and short life is. We have spent so much time grieving and pondering our ML'ers. It is not worth it. This is our life. We have to find joy. No, we did not anticipate this journey, much less being alone at the prime of our lives. Who knows what is in store for us, but at least we are alive. At least we can see our kids and friends and other family members. I know I have put too much value on my ex. We are so much more than extensions of them....
