I agree with you, Faye, that it is harder than death. I recently read a book which talked about that very subject. The grieving widow has closure and the support and sympathy of friends and family. The one suffering from a breakup really receives none of that support.
Grace02 is doing all the right things in trying to heal, and she is a strong, intelligent, and lovely person who deserves much better.
