I'm with you on that, bacall. My marriage certainly wasn't perfect, but once kids are involved I guess I assumed my ex understood that family meant more to life than the thrill of passion. I was wrong. To this day I still feel strange when I feel my empty left ring finger.

As for blocking triggers, I don't do it. I find that it's better to let the pain come and wash over me. I think holding it back and burying it deep will do more damage, in the long run. I have faith that, in time, the pain will subside, just like it has with every painful experience I've had in my life. This one is, by far, the most painful, so it only makes sense that it will take longer.

I think Annie's words were profound, though, and they will help keep perspective as it relates to finding peace, however fleeting:

"Today is all we have… tomorrow is not promised to anyone."

So true.
