Hi Liamj , the feeling of loss is completely understandable and it's a grieving process. You have lost the foundation ( your R) for your family and that's a tremendous loss. With time you will see that life does go on and the feelings of loss do become less and less. Right now you have no choice but to accept your feelings BUT that doesn't mean they have to consume you. Use your time constructively and keep busy. Find new adventures for you and yours to take part in. Exploring a local forest or a visit to a zoo , there is loads to do and make special memories.
The mediation will be tough and a couple of things to focus on might be W is done with the R for now so keep that forefront when agreeing or disagreeing to anything. Also have your requirements ready , keep calm and remember this is just another step and will not make or break any future that may or may not happen with W.
Stay on point and dont be distracted with things that really don't matter or certain people's demeanour.
You will get through this , it wont be easy but keep to the DB principles and it will make it easier.
Take each day as it comes , try not to worry about things that may or may not happen. Maybe try posting a bit more so others can offer advice and support.
Take care, Rd
