Anchor cutting

This analogy was great and is exactly the point I am at in my situation... I have had a lot of disappointments and heartache in my life, but this by far has been the most devastating and even debilitating thing which has ever happened to me. I know if I am not able to "cut the anchor" to some of the things I am doing like reading old text, comparing dates, times, pictures, etc. that there is no way for me to survive, let alone my marriage surviving.
