I can understand that feeling....when H first said he wanted a D, it felt so strange to go anywhere in public - I would be in the grocery store just amazed that life was going on as normal for everyone else....my mind knew no one else would have blinked an eye that my world just crashed, but if felt so huge to me that it seemed like the universe should be feeling it too!
But something this has also done is make me realize that we all wear our "masks" in public...and I will never hear someone say "I'm divorced" and just shrug it off saying "oh, that's too bad"....I know there is an entire life-changing story of pain and loss behind those words now. I wish I could have gone through life NEVER knowing what this feels like....!
