Don’t be surprised though if he suddenly seems really melancholy. The better you seem with it, the less happy he will become. It just seems to be the pattern of things.
Just do your best to try not to get sucked into the thought that this seems like normal. Because then you could start to lose your focus and the next “bomb” will seem unexpected and be horrible all over again. That is where the detatchment helps so much.
You can see the “normal”, accept how it feels but not be too let down when the tides shift again.
Have a good day.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
