I get so weary myself at times, but if you are religious, getting the daily e-mails from Charlyne Cares (Rejoice Ministries) is hugely helpful as far as weariness. I found out about them last year lurking on these forums and I don't think I would have been able to stand without that support.

On a practical level, it will probably take as long to grieve, find a new life and meet someone else as it will to stand and wait; that's what I always remind myself. I prefer to wait out my husband's craziness for some years, standing and being a light, and hope that we can reunite as a family when the time is right and be old grandparents together one day.


I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
