This is all so very relevant to me and my issues, as you know.

this feeling I have that nothing will ever fill the emptiness, or that no one person will ever be able to love me the way I want/need and I don't expect that, but it all feels like a loss and that I feel like I'm grieving for that. And she said that it was wise to recognize and not expect that any one person could be all that I needed. And that what I was doing in reaching out more to different friends, seeing how one could offer me something, meet some needs for care and support in a way that another couldn't or that my husband can't, is good......no one person can offer us everything we need, but different ones can meet different needs, and all together, it can help us feel more filled up.

I have been working on the same thing for years and learning how to accept that no one person can meet my needs. I thought Ts could but that's just fantasy.

You're doing great work, Poetgirl!!! I wish it didn't hurt so much.
