I decided to send H an email this morning & tell him that I was NOT changing my mind OR letting him go, and that I would be HERE if he needed me, but I felt like he needed to take a few days break.
He emailed me back & we 'talked' all day. Ultimately, he decided I was right - he does really need some time away from the whole sitch. And maybe I could use downtime too. It's hard on the heart...
