Thanks Lou for always being so encouraging and wise. I actually have been seeing a counselor for the last 9 months but she had an emergency appendectomy the same week as my accident. I am finally getting to see her next week but dealing with things over the last month has really been a challenge. The isolation and not being able to use my dominant arm. The lack of sleep and realizing that my job may not be available was a gut punch.

I rationally see how this is temporary but I am mired down in it that I am just finding it tough to be positive. H does not contact us and Facing that reality at the one year mark has just brought on more sadness. Not surprise but sadness.

Am I standing or dbusting? There is nothing to work with if he is with OW. I just keep thinking too much.
