BD was one year ago today. So I have been through 365 days of a changed life. I'll never be the same. Something inside has died, but hopefully other good things are taking root. I don't know how I survived Nov-April, but I did and I'm glad I never gave up hope. Piecing, reconciling, whatever we're in right now is hard. But not nearly as hard as the dark days and endless sleepless nights of Nov-April.

I'm grateful to all my DB friends: MB, Rain, Hawker, Cheesyt, Rouky, Thornton, Pink, TXHubby, Painter, WONKA!!, Hope, Sparkles, the list goes on and on and on. You all and those I haven't mentioned helped me through so much. Even those of you who are so darn tough on me! You know who you are...

It' heartbreaking to hear from the newbies whose pain is so acute and so new. It's just a horrible, awful process you have to go through. This forum helps so much. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, breathe in and breathe out, and when you get knocked down just get back up again. You're not alone.
