When the bomb dropped my W was in such a fragmented and panicky mindset due to the explosion into a full blown life crisis that she was talking suicide, and acting like she would do it.
Last night I got home from yoga around 10 PM and she wasn't home but had said she would be. My youngest said he had heard from her earlier in the day but it was weird that she hadn't showed up. Normally, I would would just think she got caught up somewhere in her job which is in the alzheimer's field and somtimes there's on-call sitches. But because of this year's post bomb history and the previous suicidal period I had this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach.
In the end she called and sure enough she was in a work related sitch. I guess I'm telling this because I think we should all expect the effects of these WAS sitches to go on for quite some time, and will require our new found strengths to run with it.
