I read in a book several months ago that you should have a divorce ceremony. Get some pictures and mementos from your M put them in a box and burn it or bury it.
The book said you have to mourn the death of your dreams before you can go on.
I read something like that too. It said that when a person experiences a death in the family, people rally around them to support them, love them, and know they don't have to go through the painful experience alone. However, when people go through a divorce, it is all hush hush, don't talk about it, just try to ignore the elephant in the room.
The suggestion was to have a ceremony, even like a funeral, to be able to move on. It is a part of the grieving process, and just because it is not an actual death per se does not mean it is still not a form of a death.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
