That's exactly what I came to realise. The reason I was resisting accepting this so much is that I thought that I would have to give in to everything and give up on everything in order to accept what's going on. Then it became clear that actually it was more accepting that this was of course going to be difficult, and there would be a few hicoughs along the way and that was perfectly normal and didn't mean I had to give up hope. That made it easier somehow. More real, more gentle and as you say - like a balm. @Square-Peg Karen – yes! That’s exactly what I came to realise.
