JS These are good realizations. I have had similar ones myself and have laid down my next steps.
I do not look forward to the next steps. Letting go is not easy.. and must be done in moments of strength.
The other day I was walking in the mall and I felt this overwhelming calm and excitement about moving forward. Finding a new partner. In that moment, I would have sold my wedding ring if I had it on me. I would have bought all new furniture. In that moment - I was genuinely happy about where I am.
That moment has passed but next time I will capitalize on it.. because otherwise the fear of it "truly being over" remains.
It okay that we struggle with accepting our new truth... but accepting how it can paralyze us is not okay. Only you can know when you are still healing... or when you are procrastinating.
And I think you know... but do you know what are the next steps for you to move forward?

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
