“A while ago I met a truly wonderful woman. There was such a great chemistry and connection between us. We talked and talked, and never tired of it. We shared our lives and our emotions and became the best of friends. We were lovers but more importantly we loved each other deeply. We were also both married. Now, we’re no longer together, and for me the passage of time has not healed the wounds caused by our separation. I feel the loss every day. I find it impossible to let go of the past although I wish I could. Even though, outwardly, I try to lead a normal life, inside I am still confused, miserable, despairing. The future alone is so daunting, so overwhelming. I wonder whether this will ever end.”

“He has been a corporate client, (and friend) for 14 years. He has walked around for the past two years in the shadow of a great loss. Emotional pain can be just like a physical wound, it takes time to heal and often leaves a scar.”
