At first I cried and felt numb. The second day I felt better. On the third day my head felt as thought it may be clearing. Today I have felt out of sad and angry. I need to be stronger than this. I need something to do with myself in those moments when I am overwhelmed with emotion. I sit with myself and let the pain wash over me but it is soooo hard. Anyone with advice?
I knew that the marriage was over. Just two weeks ago the words to an old Smokey Robinson song popped into my head, "I.m just about at the end of my rope abut I cant stop trying and cant give up hope". The words hit me in the gut like a brick.I had been holding on to the love and the hope,and yet, I knew I did not have the power to change him. I know that I gave 200% and it makes me angry with myself. |

I'm so sorry about your loss.
 A broken marriage is always a difficult thing to have to go through. It's perfectly natural that your emotions are on a roller coaster - that's very normal in your situation. Does not mean it's easy, just normal. You don't have to be strong. Find some help and support for yourself. Gather round you all your supportive, caring friends and family. Find a therapist. That would be very helpful to you right now. And keep posting here, you'll find many caring and supportive people here. Take care of yourself. Break down, cry, be angry, feel weak, feel what ever you are feeling. That's okay. You need to accept all your feelings - doesn't mean you have to act on any particular feeling. You need to go through the grieving process. It will take as long as it takes. Everyone is different.

 I'd rather have a visit, note or pretty picture than an "I'll say a prayer" or a "god bless you." Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure. Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free.  But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
