I hope you post to some of the terrified newbies, And those reeling from their "new reality". Many are so stunned they feel paralyzed. Or they are mired deeply in their sorrow and for some, they don't see a way out. They need help.
I worry that my words about how they'll "thrive" after divorce, ring hollow b/c I didn't divorce. I got the result they think will lead them to their own happiness.
And like you said (or someone here), sometimes we're not ready to hear something yet. But not too long later, we hear it again & it hits us exactly where/when we need it most. Suddenly lights go off and we "get" it.
Having someone like YOU come here and tell them that you have been in their shoes AND you were in the storm, you weathered it, got to the other side, did not reconcile or "WIN" and YET, you are happy is such a Godsend.
Everyone needs to know that even when life throws them a curve ball that really hurts, they can heal, live, laugh and love again. Your story shows them that.
Thanks for sharing it!
