Broken Heart, Broken Soul


Last night and today I have sat and cried and cried. I feel completely foolish, strung along and just crushed. I keep asking my HP to comfort me, show me the way, but I still feel so down.

I have felt the way you are feeling, not so long ago... but it did pass and life took on new meaning... I had to go through the grief of it all before the healing could begin... so let yourself cry as much as you need to.

Me, too, Linda. I cried, too, and then I was led by my HP to a group of people whose marriages had ended and my entire life changed. My x continued being who he'd been and the disease progressed. I grew and kept growing. We understand. We've been there. And letting the tears flow is very, very healing. You're doing very well and grieving well. The past is over. Today is a new day and you are a new person who made a choice in her favor. Keep coming back. We're here for you.

I have come here many many times to tell everyone I have cried and cried until I couldn't cry no more. It's OK, you have to so you can move forward. It will pass and HP will show you the way and coping with the heartbreak.

(((( hugs ))))

You may have to feel it until it eases and it will ease. This too shall pass. You have freed yourself from insanity but its still loss so the grief is a natural consequence. Your doing so well flower, keep on keeping on with your program.x

Linda-

you are not alone; so many of us have been where you are.  I agree that is is healing to grieve and cry; change can be so painful, even when it's for the better.  Keep putting one foot in front of the other.  Many prayers of support and encouragement for you

(((Linda)))

Hugs .. Pain, anger are great motivators of positive change if harnessed the right way .. feel the feelings and take the next right step forward.

Hugs S :)

Debilyn, I too read, just bought some new stylish clothes, and best of all my two furkids Henry and Marley are here for me. I do believe that Dog spelled backwards is God. They teach us so much in such a way. Especially they teach about love. Just plain old fashioned, unconditional love. They never criticize my feelings, my needs, my dreams, my hair LOL.....

 

Thank you all for the needed support.

Oh Linda, I know those feelings of despair. It's good to come here to release them. I love MIP because it gives me an outlet when my sponsor isn't available or when I just need to vent. My dog sleeps with me and follows me around the house, even to the bathroom. He could be in a dead sleep and I'll try to leave the room but he'll hear me and get up and follow. I love my fur baby, too!!! HUGS!
