(13,776 posts)Sometimes I think it's harder to try to hang onto hope in difficult times than to know the outcome for certain and to plan and prepare... and sometimes I think I'd rather still have that hope to hang onto. Both situations are just so stressful.
Now you know what your new normal is, I guess, and can start planning accordingly, and can start to adjust emotionally from the state of having hope that things will work out the way you wanted to having a different kind of hope--that your situation won't always be as bad as it seems today. It really, really sucks that things didn't go your way, but I hope that all the good vibes from your friends here are a source of comfort and strength. Maybe someday this will all be a terrible nightmare that you can look back on with relief that it's over... you just have to get through the process of getting through this stage in your life, which is so difficult. I'm so sorry.
