Dear Dave:

Good to read your update. You are welcome and I appreciate your hope that I am doing well: I am doing as well as I can given the record high heat wave (and no air conditioning) that I am experiencing.

“I do still worry a little that when I move to my new place, I will suffer a delayed reaction and maybe struggle from loneliness”- It is reasonable for any person to expect to react to a new situation, and it is likely that you will struggle again from loneliness, once you live away from her (to one extent or another, some of the time).  You can visualize living away from her, seeing it in your mind’s eye in a meditative kind of way, while you are calm (or as calm as you can be)- so to prepare for the new situation. Preparing now will reduce the element of surprise when you find yourself struggling later.

You are welcome to post again anytime!
