Things to Help you Get Through Two Weeks:
Think of things you love to do and plan something each day if you can. Create a T on Vacation thread and post in it here daily.
Search for some podcasts that you are really interested in and that can be an escape for you. Same with T.V. shows/movies, etc.
Find people who you can PM with here or elsewhere while your T is gone.
Buy 14 postcards and snail mail one to him each day he is gone.
Write a journal to him and read it when he gets back.
I am sorry this is so painful for you.  My T is going away for a month in a few months, so I know how you feel. I feel so happy for him and his wife, and I am at the same time afraid of how I am going to feel (abandoned).
Take care. |
Thanks for this post. Lots of good ideas here. I love the postcard thing but I only have his work address and I'd feel weird about doing that and them wondering what the hell was going on. I can probably write though. When I went on my weekend trip in April, I asked him for a few songs he liked, on a list and he did that so I can maybe listen to those.
I just keep thinking, one day done but then there's like a ton more to go and I'm already exhausted. Thankfully it's 13 days, not 14 but still. That means 12 long days to go... I'm trying to convince my mind he's overseas and that's why he can't talk at all... but then my anxiety reminds, me, no, it's because he doesn't want to... and I get depressed again. I think the sudden-ness really got to me, if I had more time to prepare, I might be better off right now.
