Warrior,

Thank you. I think you may be right about being ready. I hope you are!

May,

Excellent advice. When I started running, I used an app that had a running coach and she said to get a mantra when we wanted to quit. Mine is "Hope, you are strong. Be strong."

I used it to get me though the academy, but I haven't used it for this. Excellent idea!!

I got knocked down last week with the revelation that X has had an OW. I know myself well enough to know that I haven't processed it all (we were together for 23 years) but you are right - we don't know when the next wave will hit. Having a plan will definitely help!! This is such great advice.

I love how everyone here shares. It has made all the difference for me.

Thank you both so much for your time and help xx
