It hurts to be replaced. It hurts to be cast aside, like your life together didn't matter enough to fight for it. It's hard to believe the person you trusted most in the world could betray so completely.

All you have to do today is breathe. Inhale, exhale, breathe. That's it.

When friends told me that was all that was required of me, it was such a relief. I could stop focusing elsewhere and just focus on my breathing. In ... out ... in .... out. You will be ok. Just breathe Stella. {{{{{hugs}}}}}

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
~ Mary Oliver
