Acceptance is, IMO, an on going process that we LBS have to wrestle with every day. Keep working, my friend.
James - I agree. It is an ongoing process.
I'm about two weeks out from the 1st bomb, and just over a week out from the 2nd one. My H is still at home, so I'm struggling with accepting that he is leaving. He hasn't mentioned it again, but I know it could happen at any time. And I don't want the grief to be as bad as when the 1st bomb was dropped. I just don't know how to get to the acceptance point and stay there. It is hard...Some days I do feel like I'm going insane.
