I did the same soon after BD. I don't think I was in the right frame of mind then so will do it again. My list at the time with comments given where I am today:

1. I will grow old alone (possibly - but that is up to me)
2. The kids will be damaged by this (possibly - but we are actively trying to manage this)
3. We will lose the house (definitely - but it is only a house)
4. I will never be intimate with anyone again ([censored] to that - there are a hundred different ways to get this).
5. The future I had planned is gone (yes - but I will build a new future)
6. What if I lose my job (possible, but unlikely)
7. Financial security is gone (Yes - but I will cope).

Thank you for reminding us all that we can do this.

I have been listening to Praying by Keisha. D8 and I were signing it out loud in the car when H was driving me home the other night. First time I listened to the words. Seemed very fitting singing it in the car with H next to me.
