there's a book called "A Year by the Sea: Thoughts of An Unfinished Woman"
It's a WAW's story of the year "off" from her long term m and her h's struggle to understand it.
SPOILER ALERT
--they reconcile.
but it was a powerful story of her transition in life...and how she tried to do it lovingly but kind of could not. Incredibly articulate.
They made it to the other side...and you can too. Maybe you should read it first but I bet your w would get a lot out of it...first YOU check it out b/c it's been a few years since I read it.
But it touched me.
