"I'm really missing that partner, the feeling that you're not alone when things go bad. She's not that person anymore and I'm still adjusting."
It's a tough adjustment! Sometimes I just miss coming home and finding someone else there...uh, come to think of it, even then she wasn't usually there. But I know what you mean, I've got the flu right now and again, just the fact that I'm sitting alone in my apartment with no one to ask "how are you feeling"...uh, come to think of it, she never asked me how I was feeling when I was sick either. Wow, I guess I have absolutely no idea how you're feeling, do I! OK, there's gotta be one time when she was there for me...hmmm. I'll get back to you. Btw, get a Yoga book out of the library, you don't have to be a Yogi to do a few relaxing poses and deep breathing can be done by anyone anywhere, we just have to do it! Hey, I just went to You Tube and they've got beginners Yoga videos or maybe try this, watch past the first sixty seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dA_D3yOJJ4
