Step 1: Shock and disbelief. The total inability to accept we are no more...
Step 2: Sorrow, sadness, endless tears, desperately attempting to change it all, go back to the past....somehow making all the bad go away, pretend it didn't end up the way it did. Step 2 goes for an eternity, months...
Step 3: Awareness, accepting the finality... that the end has come, followed months later by...
Step 4: Letting go of the thoughts, finding ways to avoid unnecessary tears and conversations with you...
Step 5: Move into a new home, away from memories, unwilling yet to relinquish the old place, simply avoid going there, rent is paid ahead...while still adding a piece of your artwork to the new home, I justify it by claiming it goes with the overall decor of the room...
Step 6: Several weeks later, visit my other home, check on the rent...place looks so barren, almost forelorn...a feeling of remorse, shake it off, girl...
Step 7: Remove and your new girl from my ava HUD, remodel room in new home, decide the art is no longer right, remove it, and it is okay...
Step 8: Get involved with my new life, new friends, integrate into the new sim "family," an ongoing process steps 2-8...
Step 9: Back to the other home, one week left for rent...ponder this and leave with mixed feelings...
Step 10: Make decision not to renew rent on other home, remove all items, which are few...make mental note to IM landlord, a good friend, when she is is on...more remorse...
Step 11: Get auto notice rent has expired...oops!...Immediately send IM to landlord, send my sincere regrets...she is understanding as always, knows the situation....
Step 12: Inventory cleanup, search everything with your name attached, move all of you into a neat little folder...
It is finally final...I have completed the program.
