“Have you ever been in love with somebody and they ditched you?” he asked Darcy. She nodded, studying his face. This was their third session. He was getting divorced. “Yes,” she told him. Simple. To the point. Honest, Darcy thought. She thought it was important for her to be truthful with patients. “I mean, I feel blindsided. She just left. How do I respond to that?” her patient asked her. “It feels like everyone wants me to just be okay–and sometimes, I’m okay and then I’m not okay, you know?” he added, gesturing. Across the desk, Darcy smiled gently. “That’s completely normal,” Darcy told him. “Some days, you’ll feel fine, but then your feelings of anxiety and grief will come back. So will the anger. It’s a back and forth–it doesn’t necessarily go in a linear order. The important thing is that you reach out when you’re feeling loneliness, all right?”

Darcy’s made a new life for herself. She doesn’t expect the ex who ruined her last one to come back from the dead.
