Thanks for the quick reply, Fogg. The "death nell" part is my own thinking as I have not - or ever would - mentioned that to her. I told her that we won't talk about it until she is ready and left it at that.
This morning she mentioned us all going to see her mom over a weekend sometime next month, so that may be a good sign. I have been trying to be that light house and have been seeing my own counselor. We have also been going to a marriage counselor, which due to her job, makes it difficult to drive the hour plus from her base just to get home and then to counselor.
There have been warming signs that I try to not acknowledge, cause I learned if I do it cools again. So that is a challenge. Some says are just freaking roller coasters, to say the least.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
