The quietness is downright spooky. Still, always deep down is the fear that I am driving her further and further and further away from me with my non pursuit.
Your not driving her away, shes driving away. You don't control it, you just get taken for the rough ride while shes desperately searching for what she thinks she needs to be happy. Shes looking in all the wrong places and hopefully one day she will see that. Shes not even looking back to see if your ok right now, shes just going full speed ahead no matter whats in her path. Don't feel guilty about what shes doing, or what you think you need to be doing for her.

Am I all alone out here?
Yes, we all have those feelings, no, you are not alone. You lost something that was a major part of your life. You just have to give yourself time, things will one day get better.
Even if you missed signs she wanted space, she still walked away, not you. That's all on her. You contributed to the M state, just as she did, but you didn't force her to do anything. She choose this.
Happy mothers day, I'm sorry you cant be with your children tomorrow. Is there something you can do to still enjoy the weekend alone? Think outside the box if you have to, do something completely out of the ordinary and new. Surprise yourself.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
