Thanks to all of you. Apparently I need to hear the same thing from multiple sources to even begin to try to internalize the message.

Daisy -- I printed your post and showed it to my T tonight. She has assigned me the "homework" (which we don't really do) of pulling that out and re-reading it every single time I hear my friend's voice in my head saying the things she said to me. So I will try to do that.

And I forgot to address the dog issue. I'm still walking her dog because her dog and I have a relationship separate from her and me. I've never really done the dog thing before, but this one is special AND trained as a therapy dog. He has been amazingly comforting during the last 5 weeks. She has let me bring him to my house for visits. Just having him next to my hip and feeling his heart beat when I pet him is calming in a way that few other things are right now.

He's also moving in with me for 8 days while she's on vacation next month. I'm going to do that, too, because I think it will give me a focus and because the nights have been the hardest for me to handle. And because he doesn't do well without human companionship for that long. So I'll be helping him, too.
