There's nearly nothing you can do to keep it from escaping through your fingers unless the chance of seeing one another is set, so you can hold out for a few weeks or months.
It's one of the most painful things I've ever gone through. You want to love that person wholly but you can't help it because of the distance~ 8 months after the breakup, I'm finally healed..

For ayu especially, it's going to take a lot of time and support I think. She deserves the BEST. She's had a lot of hard times in her life.

Let's band together to support her.

Yeah, I've also been in a relationshiop ruinned by distance. I loved her, but I had to choose between my future and her. Well, we tried for almost a year to live apart, but right after we completed 3 years together, the decision of ending things came up. But that's off-topic, I should stop this

At the time of our marriage, my husband and I decided to live in the united states. However,approximatetely two months later eastern japan was struck by a huge earthquake. As a result of this tragedy, I felt an overwhelming need to stay in my home county, and was forced to leave my husband alone for a long time.
My husband and I have made every effort to reach a compromise;
However, as time has passed we have grown apart. I no longer feel the same desire to move to the united states. Instead I feel that I must ask myself what I can continue to do for my country, here in japan. This has eclipsed the future I had originally envisaged with my husband, and it is for this reason that I have made this difficult decision.
It was with a grateful, but heavy heart that I read all the messages I received form my fans and the press congratulating me on my 1st wedding anniversary at the beginning of this month. It was then that I realized I had to face up to the inevitable truth that I had been avoiding.
At present, my husband is in los angeles pursuing his career as an actor in Hollywood. I would ask that my fans to respect his privacy and refrain from sending him messages or contacting him to ask for comement.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Thanks a lot for translanting. The bold part is like the main reason, it also happened with me. But from this text it looks like the decision had been made some time ago, probably she's much better now than on the last days.
