In the grief work I've been doing, I've learned that it's normal to cycle through this grief over and over...AND, when we are abandoned/rejected, all previous hurts from earlier rejections rise to the surface. I'm trying to see it as an opportunity to deal with issues I had previously buried.
But, the bottom line is...this is a process, a lengthy one and it will take as long as it takes. :-)
I have the same timeline as you and I'm still working hard to put one foot in front of the other. You're not alone.
