When I say two weeks, its my average feeling. My mood can go up and down multiple times during the day. I think its all normal and if you think about this as going through grief, the emotional highs and lows make sense.
Thanks for the kind words about me growing through this. I remember reading other people's sitch's and thinking there's no way that I would ever be able to gain enough courage to do stuff like they do. Well, it's a step at a time. Its uncanny how similar the phases of the WAW's are in these situations. Reading other posts helps me prepare for what's next
My big turning point was when I found out about OM. It connected all of the dots in my head and helped me get out of the self-deprecating thoughts that I had caused all of this.
Your W will have to reach out and interact with you. Use this time to prepare yourself. As you probably read, we had kids in the middle and it still took my W up until last week (4 months) to have a normal conversation.
