You voiced what so many feel — as counselor of many pastors over the years, and pastor couples, loneliness creates so much dysfunction and so much pain. Thank you for saying this out loud. I can also relate with the strangeness of being expected to be more than I am, a very normal messy me with a job that can have expectations I haven’t yet arrived at.
