Bro, having been thru 3 relatively short term separations (each was about 4-6 months, spread out over the course of 20 yrs) before the 4th and final separation from my wife, I will tell you to take it all one day at a time. There's a lot of trauma there individually, and shared trauma between the two of you, as well. I suggest going to marriage counseling with a psychologist akin to someone of Dr. Jordan Peterson's caliber and cut, but it isn't necessary, as long as you both are 100% committed to making the marriage work. It took time for the marriage to get to this point, and it will take time to get past this in order for you both to heal, individually and as a couple. If one, or the both of you aren't fully committed, it won't work, no matter whether you find a counselor to help, or not. Just keep in mind that sometimes, splits happen and sometimes it's best to stay split (as is my case). Whatever the future outcome may be, that's a "future question." Focus on the here and now. Thoughts and fears of what "may be" will still be there, just make sure you keep them as quiet as possible so you can make an honest attempt at healing yourself, each other, and the marriage in general. Also, keep your Faith in God and His Plan and everything will work out accordingly.

Good luck my brother, and God Bless.
