I am so sorry for all the pain you are going through. I wish I had some words of encouragement to give you re. your M. I don't. All I can tell you is about you. Don't underestimate yourself. You will get through it. I am not sure if slow or yanking the bandaid fast is the solution, but when you finally reach the other side, you will find relief and the realization that you will be ok. Not because you will stop loving or left this whole part of your life behind, but because you will gather some of the strength, courage apply all you have learned and deal with whatever life brings to you after this. You have dug deep, worked really hard and you will be ok. You just need to believe it and time will take care of that.
In the meantime, continue focusing on yourself and perhaps spend some extra time and extra care pampering your soul. You are amazing - love yourself a bit more this coming days.
Make a list of 5 fun / relaxing things you can do from now until the end of this weekend - and get them done!
(You know you can call me. We can have some wine, dinner, a movie or if you just want to talk, we can do that too. I am busy with the kids, but not too busy for a friend!
