My boyfriend of 11/2 years left me almost two months ago. We were very close and were on the verge of getting married. I have gone through a great deal of pain and grief. I found out about a National group called divorce Care that runs support groups in many areas. My couselor suggested I go even though we weren't married because I am experiencing most of the emotions of going through a divorce. I went tonight to my first meeting and was very amazed, everything that was said in there resonated with what I have been going through....the paralyzing grief and pain, feeling like you are walking around with a huge open wound, the anger and sadness. I recommend this group for anyone who is going through a divorce or separation and really wants to heal.
They are on the web under "Divorce Care" and they list all the groups in various locations.
I am barely starting the recovery process.....I have barely been able to function and my sadness and depression have been overwhelming.
I have a long way to go before I heal, but I am on the right path now. I never knew how gut wrenching a separation can be when it is from someone you love with all your heart and soul.
My heart goes out to anyone who is experiencing that....it is hell on earth.But according to this group, there is light at the end of the tunell, it just takes a long time to heal.
