Hang in there. The part you're at is really tough...it's hard to stop thinking about them all the time, worrying about what they're doing, who they're with, what they're thinking, etc etc. Realize that you cannot control any of that and try to set it aside. It will come. And if it helps, realize that your W needs that space....the more you pursue, the faster they run.

When I started it, I was thinking "this is my W" for the first chunk of it....but a ways in I got the "oh, there I am." Recognizing it is half the battle.
