My mom told me recently that getting a divorce is worse than losing a spouse to death. She said, divorce is worse than death because the person is still there, still available via email, phone, can see them on the street, etc. and so that complete loss doesn't really happen. It's so weird. It's like how to just end that connection you had with someone? How to you stop talking, stop conversing, stop sharing thoughts, stop caring about each other? I feel like you have to do that to move on, yet regardless of the acceptance, the draw is still there to have that person in your life in some way because they have been for so long.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. -Marcus Aurelius
