I needed that post so desperately. Although I am doing so much better, I need to be still. I still tend to focus on WH and OW. I'm in plan B but I stray with my thoughts and going by the OW's' house. I need to "let go"....I am still praying for miracles though.

Thank you, wildhorses! I will be still. I will also print this out so I can read it when my heart tries to overrule common sense.

stuck and meggin,
Our minds can create such chaos and turmoil when it is unsure what decisions to make and actions to take.
We need to remind ourselves to take a moment to breathe and just be still - even if only for a few moments.
Often times, I felt I had kicked into a life or death reaction - as if what was happening was to that magnitude.
Know that no matter what happens with your wayward. YOU will be okay. You will not die if you make a decision that doesn't turn out as you expected.
Your life will be different, that's for sure. Mine is much better without my wayward. It could have been great with him, but he chose otherwise.
Your outcomes with your wayward are yet to come. Know that they do not define you and they do not decide on what your life will be. YOU do.

we are definately driven by fear and our mind reacts as if it were a life or death matter.
My fear is to be alone for the rest of my life....but i m not alone...it is all mind made. sure I am no longer with WH, but there are so many people who care about me and love me...surely more than WH ever will or had...
Great post..and great thread!

wow, this brought tears to my eyes.
Perfect words for me right now, so thank you. I also feel in a panic like every decision needs to happen now, yet I'm afraid to make a decision.
Today, I will just be. and be okay with that.
