Accept the painful realization that things cannot continue in the same manner. You will not die, but the situation will die. Find solace in the face that DEATH precedes rebirth, and know that life itself is a series of deaths and rebirths. 

To grow, to move, to live - we must "die" to the old to give birth to the new.
