I feel like Stockdale in his POW camp (no offense meant to any vets - I do realise this is very different). I'm confident and determined to see this through, now all I need is "the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of my current reality, whatever they might be". I think I can get that through my meditation, PMA and GAL.
Arsene,
This right here shows how much heart & how much you really do care about others! I am still Active & for one would have to say that this is one of the toughest things I have been through mentally & has quite a profound on me physically as well.
On the other hand, I have not been a POW, nor do I want to. I think that the emotional/mental aspect of this is tough, due to the fact of the attachment & love that we all feel for our spouses, and I can understand why you would relate this to the mental challenges dealt with keeping it together like that of a POW. Although slightly different challenges, I get it Brother!
Just remember: We will Persevere & in the end will Prevail Freshman!!
