every once in a while I just get hit between the eyes with the thought, "Where the bleep did this come from? Is this really happening?" I still feel like I've been hit by a truck sometimes, and my situation (out of house separation) has been going on for a few months now.
Happens to me at least once daily and I am nearly 7 months in. When it hits I now tell myself to face the brutal reality and that I can handle it. Before I used to let the pain have its way with me. And of course, there are times I just cannot control the grief.
