M left a few minutes ago. After the initial goodbye waterworks, I came back into the house and I’m in a good mood! I’m choosing to focus on what I want: memories of the good times and more of the same instead of what I don’t: her leaving. I have a lot of inner work and outer work to accomplish and this is the perfect opportunity to do that.
I think I turned a corner in this transition. Yay!
Warm wishes to all and hugs to those that are struggling.
