25 Why do you feel the need to share your story with us? I mean, in general, I know you will find it beneficial to others.. but is there something specific that you feel your story would bring that your answers to specific posts wouldn't?
It makes alot of sense that it still hurts when you think about it... I wouldn't say that isn't because you haven't let go though.
Bare with me as I go off on a small biblical tangent. Something my pastor said to me that really hit home. I'll share because I know you put alot of faith in God.
He was talking about Jesus and when he went to raise Lazarus from the dead. Jesus knew he was going to raise Lazarus... he even waited a few days to show just how powerful his God was... yet when he arrived in the town and saw everyone weeping... Jesus wept for Lazarus.
Isn't that crazy?? he knew that all was going to be well... and he still was sad, he still hurt over the loss. Why would he do that?? Because even though he was God.. he was still human.
I guess my point is that if Jesus could still feel pain even though joy was right around the corner... and he was God.. then I'm pretty sure you can feel pain from the rough patch in your marriage.. but still have let go.
Why??... cause you're human and because we know that we were made in HIS image... ALL of it.
I agree with you not to dwell on the past.. and would completely understand the need for you to take a break from the board.. especially if it is negatively affecting you and your own growth.
You'll figure out what's the next best move for 25. That.. I have no doubt in my mind.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
