Adjusting to the New Reality

I am going through the five stages of grief. This is somewhat problematic as my relationship with Racquetball Guy is not over. It is just different. We both love and care a great deal for one another but things are happening beyond our control. So I’m trying to accept the new reality and just when I think I have passed a certain stage, I find myself back at the beginning. I am in major denial. I long for what was, what could have been and what hopefully will be once again. Hopefully time will bring true acceptance for whatever the future holds.

You are correct which is why I’m trying really hard to be realistic about the future. However there are moments when I lapse back into dream world which makes it hard. Hopefully time will change all of that.

Longing for what could have been = recipe for heartache
