Cindy, that is the first step of many that will bring you great healing. I know. I have been preparing our home for selling it. It was sad at first, but as I have done all the necessary work around here--many things I have asked him to do for years--it has given me such a sense of accomplishment and power. I can do things I have never tried to do because I always looked to him to do it. Now I see what I am capable of. It's a great feeling.

What a great group of accomplished women the ladies of this forum are. It would be really nice to just want a man in our life but not need them if you know what I mean. Every human being is enriched by independence. Learning new things and conquering the things we never imagined we could do brings such a since of power. I just would like to congratulate you ladies. A better life is there just around that next bend so don't give up your journey. Thinking of you all this day.
