Its because it just recently happened and you are both reacting to each others reactions- and if youve talked to friends and family who dont want to see you in pain they push you too..... its a scary time
But the reality is the only next step is to file. everything from now to then is just noise- thats why you use this "gift of time" to work on you- its all you can control
Then even if someone does file- itll take months more before anything is finalized
For us- those left behind ....it hurts like a bastard until we detach
