I for one know the trials and tribulations of what comes after piecing...(then again does piecing ever end? is that what we hope for? should we hope for piecing to end? aint it about growing together not just growing old together? I obviosly could keep going here...)
the beginging??? well that's a sort of weird honey moon period....fun, scary, exciting, new (again kinda?) etc...
slowly it turns into something more "normal" but of course all our fears of is this ok? is this a sign of things getting bad again? talista has done a great job of comparing then and now as a mesure for that sort of thing (something a lot of us including yours truly should look into though I'll admit it's hard to know what then and what now to use as a gauge)
The hardest part I see in piecing is keeping an open dialogue. Deciding what needs to be talked about and how much.
It's hard to be honest with those closest to us especially when we know that being honest may hurt them (probably why so many was don't feel all that comfortable sharing a whole lot) put's us (the lbs) in a position where we want to share our fears etc with our finnaly no longer was but tend to stuff them and instead look to see how they are trying to reassure ourselves instead.
