How do I get through this?

I am not proud, but I am facing the honest truth that I am the other woman.  The pain in losing my best friend and man I love after 12 years to a heart attack is excruciating. How have you grieved, when your sorrow doesn't make sense to any one else?  I do not want my desire to feel comforted be at the expense of hurting anyone else or his reputation by my disclosure of what a close and precious relationship we shared.  I ask to not be judged, though I realize I would deserve it.  I truly want to heal and overcome this heavy sense of sorrow.  I know he would want me happy, I just don't know how to do it without him.

Ps... Everyone's words here are so exactly the same as my feelings. I hope we can be a comfort to each other.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
