The cool thing about Vegas is that once you get out of the city, it is desert all around for hundreds of miles. Any approaching battle tanks would be most vulnerable. A pretty darn good place to keep valuable data and communication equipment (the buffets are good too)!

Me 55; XW 47; 2 kids (S13, D11) Bomb 05/19/06 Original thread http://tinyurl.com/yg2ou2t Last anniversary 04/25/10, Divorced 5/12/10 Status: Loving father of 2 beautiful children;
Tonight the girls and I are going to get our tree and decorate it. I feel a little sadness over this being the way it is. Yesterday D13 told me she wished mom wasn't doing what she's doing. D13 is angry.
I realize I have been stuck in a minor depression the past month or so and I'm slowly getting out of it. A lot of it comes from the holidays, and from the difficulty of accepting that this is the way it is. I don't know Gods plan for me but I do know that I'm not helping it to progress.
So tonight we'll have some family time together and I'll start working my way back to upbeat and positive.
Was looking at Match.com to gauge the kinds of available women out there. I'm surprised at how many smart and pretty ladies there are who are 40+ and divorced. I think what was most interesting is that many describe themselves as not been dating for several years since their divorce.
Makes sense. If you're the LBS in the divorce you need time to heal.
Anyway, at least there's no lack of possibilities for the future when I am ready.
I realize I am not healing. What I don't know is how to heal. I guess it means acceptance, moving through the pain and moving forward. Break the cycle.
The Kubler-Ross Model - now known widely as the "Stages of Grief" and originally identified in 1969 in her book "On Death and Dying" were first applied (accurately, in my opinion) to ANY CATASTROPHIC PERSONAL LOSS.
Denial: Example - "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me!"
Anger: Example - "Why me? It's not fair!" "NO! NO! How can this happen!"
Bargaining: Example - "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything, can't you stretch it out? A few more years."
Depression: Example - "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die . . . What's the point?"
Acceptance: Example - "It's going to be OK."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
I think you can see easily where you are in those stages although you can move through different stages multiple times before you truly get to the last one.
There is no lesson to learning HOW to heal, Frank.
