Also, I am in pretty decent shape having experienced a 2 1/2 MLC myself. CAme out of it in this more peaceful place which bothers my wife. She doesn't understand how someone could be so calm about things. My MLC was over at 42 1/2. So I was out of it about a year when hers started.

I feel I have to let her go not knowing if she will return or not. I am really close with her family and SIL's(2). So I can always find things to do, but it is a fake it til you make it mentality.
