I lost my partner after 22 years. It was devastating, and I went thru that period of crushing depression. But I learned my only limitation was MYSELF, and it was MY choice to sit and wallow. Once I got over that,
I was able to move forward, although I still, after 22 years have my moments of lonliness and self-pity. I dont think anyone but Myself could have gotten me over my hump. But they do say that the best way to get over an OLD love is to get UNDER a new one.
