The point is that when you go through a devastating trial in a relationship it can feel like you've lost everything you had together, that maybe too much damage has been done to ever be whole again. But when faced with losing the person completely, those things mean nothing. And you'd let them all go if they would stay and build with you again.Jennifer Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344877737695801883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177964686272709979.post-41952768283203398872014-10-01T10:37:57.899-07:002014-10-01T10:37:57.899-07:00Thanks Jenn!

My tired/slow/dense brain can't quite make sense of the last two lines. For some reason I can't quite tie them in with the lines before that. Do you mind explaining a bit?
