I am now a practicing pagan. The only thing I have found that helps is to begin to.understand that destruction and breaking down are parts of the natural cycle of things. Nothing, nit even our own Bodies is ours to keep. I try to remember that the relationship taught me a lot, and to remember not to cling so tightly to anyone.
I do think given a chance to come to terms with my illness I would have become more sane again. But she made her choices. I can't change it by hating myself.

I think that's a great perspective.. lately I've been living by this rule that the more you try to control something, the more you lose it. Nothing lasts forever and if you need it to last forever, you can't cherish it while it does exist. Happy for you that you have found peace in your new spirituality! I'm not religious but I appreciate paganism a lot. I also gave up my Christian faith that I was raised into.
And you're right. Hating ourselves doesn't fix anything.
