I think we can make peace with our situation and still feel the hurt and pain of it all.
Hearts will heal at their own pace in their own way.
I'm not sure if it is easier or hardier that neither one of us speak/see our spouses.. .
However I do know that seeing my w for the first time in 8 months has added extra stress to signing the papers.
I have been trying to beat myself over the head with the truth that her choice does not reflect on my self worth...
... and rejection is a mindset that I have 100% control over.
And when I sign my D papers - it will not be because of ME.. but because of HER and HER CHOICES
I hope you believe this mindset as well.
August will be rough for both of us... but I have to believe that having some resolution (even if not the one we want) will be better than this limboland.

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