Thanks for the reply on my thread. I wish I could have read the "long" version. I know how that goes. You type out a heart felt reply, and it magically disappears .
I don't have much more advice for you righ this moment. Like every one tells us - time and patience... It sucks, I know, but there is nothing else that helps.
It is great that you are learning about yourself, as am I. I know that I am already a better person inside. A lonely person, but a better one.
All you can do now is now that "things are being worked out in you, and others"..Try reading the Purpose Driven Life. It is a great book. Oh yeah, this is working for me - pray often. Thank God for all the people that He is bringing into your life right now to help you through this.
It's funny, I had a "patience" experience today... I went into the bank and the line was long. The person walking in behind me said "Don't worry, it seems long, but in 10 minutes it will be gone." After 10 minutes, he said to me "See your next." What I got out of it was this. Things don't always take as long as you think they will...
