T, yes you can. You can do so many things that you think you aren't capable of. You are so very young, T, and you have so much life left to experience. You can't see it now, but this is just one if those things that will open your eyes and make you stronger in the end. If my H had left me at 28 I would have felt the same way. But he left me after my circle had been touched by cancer, alcoholism, chronic disease, natural disasters. I knew I could experience things and come out the other side. The day he left I took my daughters out to dinner and got a third ear piercing. I felt the pain but it didn't define me. My point is, T, yes your pain is real and it's huge but it's not all of you. It's part of your life and you will be fine if you allow yourself to be. Please give yourself the gift of feeling the pain while seeing beyond it and realizing it won't last forever.
