Shining - So good to read your post. It sounds like you are doing really well. I mean none of us are wearing those rose colored glasses anymore. We are keenly aware of the struggles in life but I also feel like we are profoundly grateful for the blessings too.

Grief is not one size fits all and just when you think you are moving past it you find yourself brimming over with it.

I can't offer anything except my gratitude for your posts, your honesty and your willingness to share your journey with all of us. Until I found this board I thought I was destined to deal with this alone. I was worried I'd become bitter and angry.

Reading The Divorce Remedy opened my eyes to a new approach but dealing with MLC too has been far more than I bargained for. I needed to know others, like you, we're dealing with it too.

You've had so much on your plate but right after my BD I remember reading your posts and feeling like I wasn't going to die. I would survive.

Many, many thanks Shining.
