Anyone else feel numb to the pain after too much of it? tryingtosmile: My husband has been gone a month. At first, I cried a lot and felt basically horrible in general. However, the past few days I have feeling "numb" for lack of a better term. I'm not exactly happy but I don't feel unhappy either. Does this mean that I am in denial of the situation or is my heart just trying to protect itself for awhile? I'm a little worried that I haven't really cried much lately or felt very angry etc. (how pathetic does that sound??!!)
Just looking for advice from those who are much futher along in this process than my tiny "one month". I should probably add that since I'm in in a totally different country from my husband, there is no chance of my seeing him again until next summer and we have not spoken on the phone since he left (just a couple of emails)..maybe the extreme cold turkey thing is speeding along the process?? (I can hope, right??) :)

I am sorry you are hurting
Pm me if you need

There is no doubt that your non contact will speed the healing process tremendously.

Re: Anyone else feel numb to the pain after too much of it? MEP2006: I wish he and I were in different countries. It would make it so much easier. My last break up was like that, and it hurt like crazy, but at least I didn't have to risk running into him all the time, or seeing his name on my email distribution list at work, or having to sit in the same room at staff meetings... ugh.
Hang on, girl. It will get better. That numb phase is probably your heart protecting itself so you don't lose it completely. It's God's grace, I think.
