I have been in contact with my former partner Fiona through email recently. It has all been tentative but then a recent event precipitated into an opportunity to heal the pain we inflicted on each other through our breakup.
I had learned this weekend that Fiona was in hospital and found out from her ex-husband Randell that she was scheduled to have surgery to remove an abscess from one of her fallopian tubes. Then this morning I got an email from her. It seems that as she was mentally preparing herself for the surgery Monday evening she started going over her "thing's I regret list" and realized she really needed to be able to make peace with me. So she emailed me this morning and asked me to come see her at the hospital.
I went and we spoke for over an hour. We both have accepted that our past relationship is over for good but that it is still possible for us to be friends and to stay in contact. We shared many good things together and neither of us wants to forget that. I came away from the hospital with a profound sense of healing and peace.
