Quote: Maybe think of that part of your life as compost....smelly, and you may not want to look at or smell it too much, but it can be transformed. But some of that process requires darkness and being left alone for awhile (as well as turned over sometimes too....).
Funny that GBO puts it that way - my H once referred to the residue of the affair as the "bag of trash" (figuratively) in the corner that he knew he needed to take out to the curb.
