These the rest of these tips to help you out!
What if you have a fear that the separation WON’T end? I think this is what affects me. What if saying goodbye to Nathan is the LAST TIME I get to say goodbye to him? It’s an extremely morbid thought, but somehow, my mind goes there.
If that is something you also experience, I’d urge you to remember that uncertainty is always a constant part of life. This is a scary thing in many ways, but it also can serve as a reminder that your separation is no different than your typical daily life.
This may not be super comforting, but at least it lets you know that there’s no need to have additional fears with the coming separation.
When I fear uncertainty in separation, it also helps me to focus on the things I know for sure:
Nathan is a safe person. He takes precautions. He always returns. When we are apart, he calls or texts to let me know when he’s arrived somewhere. So, although we are apart physically, I trust that I can count on him to be safe and to return to me when the separation end.
