Have you ever had an experience where you planned for something for months, and then the night before, it all falls apart?

As much as my ex has died and is no longer in any visible/ear sight, the scars are still here. From time to time, I think of all the unpleasant scenarios I encountered; all in all, there is a slight relief because I acknowledge that I owned the power to have walked away, and that comforts me.
