Grateful for d18 and her wisdom. She is a calming force in the storm that I am currently navigating.
Grateful for d5. The sweetest little spirit that always brings oy, happiness and smile into any room she enters.
Grateful for God. For his higher power that has a higher calling in store for me, if only I can get through this fog and see the path.
Faith. Grateful that I have faith that I can get through this nightmare.

I'm grateful for MWD who has given us this forum for us to share our joys and pain with each other that lightens the load.

Be strong qt4x11 - to quote the ancient philosopher Red Green "I'm pullin' for you. We're all in this together".

I understand the nightmare all too well. Your last post sounds like me. Im angry and frustrated. I also have wonderful kids who are the only reason im still breathing. And the anxiety attacks! oh my good lord. I have been going through this for a long time and I am not feeling any better. Something is missing in me that I don't think will ever return.

Just know that you are not alone. I don't know how long the nightmare will last but I pray constantly for some sort of relief.

I appreciate all the pain I'm feeling because it means that I'm human, I'm alive, and if I allow the emotions to flow through me - that I'm healing.

The anxieties will be less everyday. Once you conquer the fear. The fear is what keeps us stuck. That was my issue and at times it still is. Fear.

Thinking about problems while falling asleep will not resolve them. It only keeps you awake.

Be good to yourself. Be patient. This in time will pass.

Rick-

I saw your D was final in 2012. How are you now? How did the financial situation work out for you? How was the D for your D 19 (I'm assuming she was still in the house with you guys as you were going through the D)? How are you emotionally? How long until the pain ends. I'm in so much pain. Everything is painful - even business like text messages about parenting schedules is agony for me. I have to exercise self control to avoid all non pursuing behaviors every time we have any sort of contact. (I'd really appreciate your experience and advice - but maybe you can post this to my thread if you can to avoid cluttering up SH's thread?)

I am grateful for my hiking-friend with whom I took a nice walk in the woods while sharing our knowledge of the local flora and fauna. It's really great to be able to share that with someone who, if anything, is even more enthusiastic about the subject than I am!

I am grateful for honesty.

I am grateful for the continued support of family and friends as this process continues on and on and on. Seven months in and there is no end in sight...

Grateful for a new day.
Grateful for the opportunity to get in a daily early morning jog and feel the pain, shortness of breath and this brutal heat as it reminds me I am alive and that I can endure challenges and get stronger as I feel the pain.
Grateful that d18 is having such a good and fun week. So many fears she is conquering, joy she is feeling, pride she has and she has met some new friends.

So my gratitude is the example she has become for me.....or as the saying goes,
The teacher has become the student. grin
