I think we have similar feelings about this, Dinah. It does, indeed, feel like a stake through my heart after I've been shot. What I told her Friday was that I could *barely* stomach the thought of her retiring and I have no idea at all if I can survive her moving so far away from me. God, it all sucks so much. And yet the things I've gained from this weird relationship with her are still gains, right? I don't lose them because I lose her. Somehow that all seems beside the point right now. It feels, once again, like I'm not good enough to be chosen. She's moving to be near her granddaughter and I'm left again holding an empty sack. It's very hard not to go down the whole "no one ever chooses me" road with this thing. But I'm fighting it.
Yep. Stake through the heart.
