5. I am sorry you are in a tough place.

First, I offer you this Dickenson poem:

After great pain, a formal feeling comes – (372)
By Emily Dickinson 1830–1886 Emily Dickinson


After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs –
The stiff Heart questions ‘was it He, that bore,’
And ‘Yesterday, or Centuries before’?


The Feet, mechanical, go round –
A Wooden way
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought –
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone –


This is the Hour of Lead –
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow –
First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –


My hope for you is that soon you'll be past the stage of letting go and he headed into something much better.
