Glad you are getting some space. I use to travel for work myself, I saw x in person 2 times in three months once. Last time I did that.
I like that you realize these things take time too. One thing I have noticed is that Stig and I are on almost the same emotional schedule, he is just a few months behind, as his R failure, was too. These things are probably not all that unique, even when we understand what it going on cerebrally, that doesnt mean are emotions are letting us feel it any faster. Its been a very very very hard thing for me to accept.
