Posted by Rick on 9/18/2006, 11:13 am, in reply to "Be true to your words...." Thanks for your kind words and advice. I am so glad there are people out there like you to talk to. No one can help better than those who have actually experienced this. One of my jobs is to try as hard as I can to gain perspective about a woman's point of view. This will be a wonderful tool to help me be there, support, listen, but most of all understand what she needs through all of this. I am sorry to hear that you did not have that kind of support. No one should go through this without someone they feel comfortable sharing their most intimate thoughts with. Even now when I am so emotionally drained I would still reach out to someone if they did not have this support. I'm sure in the coming months I will fatigue and have to focus my attention on my love, but when this is over I will look into being a support to others who need a hug, deep conversation, or a gentle touch. We have always had a very gentle and caring relationship and I feel this will serve us well through the very hard times coming. I am thinking about starting a blog to post my letters of encouragement to her (Identifying information omitted of course). I thought others might draw ideas or encouragement from them, in addition to this being a way for me to vent some of my emotion. I feel better every time I post. It is somewhat cathartic to get it out.
