Zelda,

Thank you for the suggestion. I do have a girlfriend who I can debrief with. Not sure when the"talk" will take place, but I will prepare for a couple of different scenarios. This morning as I was in between the state of being asleep and awake, I had a dream that my phone rang. I picked it up and said " hello" and I heard my husband's voice say "goodbye". Then I woke up. I've been thinking about it the whole day.

I am reading your story and see many similarities with mine.You are so wise and strong and able to articulate your feelings. I am so sorry you are going through this.
