A Letter to My Friend Who Has Just Gotten Separated

Dear Friend, I have been exactly where you are. I survived this first day. This day when you wake up terrified and alone, when you open your eyes, in a bed that you once shared with your spouse or one you never have because it's your friend's sucky couch, and you start shaking because as you blink up at the ceiling and realize what day it is, it dawns on you that life as you know it is over.
