Divorce
I wasn’t asking for too much. I was just asking the wrong person.
As I went through my marriage breakdown, I couldn’t see the light for what felt like a long time. And then one day came the dawning that, as painful and scary as it was, this might just be a gift, a chance to start afresh, freedom to take control of my life and start thinking about all the plans I had shelved because it was ‘never the right time’.
Remember, this is my story. What’s important is you writing the next chapter of yours.
And, guess what? There IS light at the end of the tunnel. You don’t have to do this on your own.
What dreams or plans have you given up that a fresh start will give you the opportunity to revisit? Have you even started dreaming and planning yet?
My mess is my message and I’m here to remind you that it’s a journey. Sometimes you just need to stop and park up a bit. It’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to cry, or rage or scream. Sometimes a baseball bat and a strong pillow is what you need.
Some people have already moved on mentally by the time they separate, and are ready for the adventure.
For others, divorce or separation is grief. It’s loss. Loss of a relationship. Loss of a planned future. Potentially loss of lifestyle.
Sound Familiar? The Result…
Discontentment, anger, resentment, lack of trust, dismissed, discounted, lost confidence, fear, denial, anxiety, guilt, depression, needy, and more. . .
Repressed grief, if left to fester, can develop into longterm symptoms.
Is it time to let go and move on?
