Question

I recently read your six-part-series "Ending an Affair". On D-Day, after threats and reality checks from me, my wife's affair partner cut off communication without closure with her. 6 months later, they have both not had any contact. My wife often says she didn't get closure in how it ended. She does not want to go back to the relationship, is ambivalent in ours, but still feels like she needs some closure to heal and grieve. As far as I know, the affair partner (my close friend) and his wife are working on their marriage. What, if any, method of closure is helpful for her and us?
