I think somewhere in me I feel if I don’t keep it at the front of my thoughts, then I must not care enough.
Oh my, how I remember that!
You bet. I also had those thoughts and feelings of needing to keep W front and center. Ah, bargaining. It’s an interesting time. The last grasps at attempting to keep everything feeling “normal”.
Letting go happens after this. And then the feelings of depression of one’s loss. (((PLC))) You are perfectly fine and doing well.
Not letting go. Remaining vigilant in proving just how much you care. Is like lighting yourself on fire to try to get smoke in your spouse’s eyes.
Focus on you. Pursue you.
Realize the sameness of your situation, the weeks of nothing different is happening. The drama has settled. Enter the time of limbo.

Indifference is upon you. Don’t worry or fret when things feel numb, it is quite normal. And your feelings will return.
Continue moving forward and let go.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
