I think the ultimate goal is to mourn what we didn't get (39 years here) and learn to self soothe and eventually not look for what we missed out on. Therapy is hard and this for me is why. Your not alone and there are others who have "made it to the other side". No pain no gain, life and therapy. Wishing you well.
