Warrior..I am always so moved by your posts. You have a way of expressing yourself that really resonates with me..there are a couple of others that I have run into here that also shoot straight to my heart. I think that finding this place was a Godsend.
I am slowly moving from the horror of realizing how prevalent this sickness MCL really is..to seeing the strength of the human heart and how when you truely love someone it isn't just to have them as your own. To truly love someone, you must let them be their own person..and if that means that they want to be with someone else, you have to let them. And wow, it hurts. That in itself is a growth experience too. Many an epic movie or legendary song has been written from the depths of pain..a broken heart..the loss of a loved one.
I, too, am glad we are in this together. I have found a wonderful group of friends here who know EXACTLY what I am going thru..and that is so cool. My high school graduating class was much like this group here. We all were so different, but we all had each other's back, no matter what..and still do, 36 years later. Even tho we don't see each other much.
