Beth, After you close the door, you will have a period when you are mourning the loss. But each day that passes, you will be stronger, feel better and happier. If you go back for even a little while, you will have to start all over in your recovery. After you've been on your own for awhile, you'll look back and thank God you are not there any longer.

Ask for help from your friends and family. When I was getting over a relationship, I asked a friend if she would just meet me for lunch 1 day a week for a while. Just knowing I would get to see my friend and that I was cared for, helped me to heal. And of course you can always turn to the boomer women.

God be with you!
