Hi Barry,

Because we spoke of sadness, I decided to come on your thread to share that I'm crying a lot this afternoon, that I miss my W a lot today. I work from home so I can cry all I want in a way, but it's impeding my ability to deliver to my clients. And that's five months after the S. I've seen her on Tuesday for lunch and it brought me a few months back emotionally. Ironically, even if she was clear again that we're done for good, her difficulties have given me the impression that we will R and that is not helping me. She's back on the top of my mind, while I should be focusing on myself. Also, I'm picking up the kids this afternoon and it often makes me a little more fragile, nervous, because of the work and responsibilities it involves as a single parent.

I've cried every day for five months so far. I'm at a point where I avoid sharing as much as before about the sadness I feel. It's not because I censor myself, but because I don't want to focus on it, as everything is just fleeting moments anyway. But we're all different and at different stages.

So yes, many of us are sad. Share away.
