This Talk Talk Tuesday post marks my 1,500th at this blog. That is a lot of talk talking, isn't it. Unfortunately, my heart is breaking today, so I am not a happy talk talker. DR told me that he is going to have to go back to North Carolina in a couple of weeks. There are good reasons, and it isn't forever (he believes), but I am still feeling....stunned and sort of sick with grief. So...here is my Talk Talk for this Tuesday ---
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
-Elizabeth Bishop
Hope you all are much happier than I am feeling right now. But I know, I know, I know I can be alright again. What choice is there, after all?

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry to hear that.
What a shock! I hope it's a very temporary situation.
Oh no, Laura, I am so sorry! I hope his stay in NC is temporary, and that he comes back soon. But I know that you'd prefer he didn't have to leave at all. Let me know if there's anything you need or if you want to talk it out more.
I like the poem, I heard it in the movie "In Her Shoes". It's bittersweet, but it's a great poem.
How long is 'not forever'?? So sorry...
Secret: Thank you.
FW: I hope so too, but at best it will be several months...at worst, he decides to stay there.
Tara: Thank you so much. I am so emotional right now that I can't work out exactly what I am feeling! I guess I don't handle things very well.
NoRegrets: Yeah, that part is all still rather nebulous. Several months - forever.
Thank you.
I'm with Nor. What does not forever mean? With my abandonment issues, I would need some kind of an end date for the NC "visit".
Hang in there. We're all here for you if you need us.
Churlita: Yes, I am very bothered by how open ended this is. And also by how it was presented to me after it had been decided. That hurt. I think most people have some abandonment issues.
Thank you, Churlita.
Sorry to hear that.. Hope it works out and he comes back for good!.. My heart aches for you..
;)
Ah, that's bad. Presented after decided. Hmm...
Mrs: Thank you. I just don't know...
NoRegrets: Exactly.
Ah... now I understand. I am sorry.
That is crushing news. That will be hard.
Ananda: It is hard and getting harder...
sheesh!
Crazy4Coens: I know!
