Thanks for the story of your co-worker. It lets us all know we aren't alone, there are so many people out there, who haven't found these boards, are going through the same crappy experience. Sort of like finding the sanity within the insanity.... if you know what I mean. It also proves the point about it not being about us, or caused by something we have done, for it's happening to so many.
As for your post divorce feelings... I had them too. The heaviness will lift as time goes by, along with more positive feelings about your future. Oh sure, I had good days and bad too, sometimes I just knew I was doing fine and just about ready to soar, only to find I tripped over another few bad days, which sometimes seem to come out of no where. We are grieving, for our past, what we knew, what we thought we knew, our homes, our plans, our dreams, our marriages, or what were our dreams and hopes were, before all of this came into our lives. It's all a normal and healthy process, and you are doing fine Honey. Don't you worry, take the time you need.
Try to squelch the desire to break out in a chorus of "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow..." but before long, your life will take on a whole new meaning. Yes, GAL is the best way to over come the feeling of gloom, keeping busy and on the move, allowing little time to get stuck in a rut. We will all find ourselves at the threshold of our new beginnings soon.
My thoughts are with you.... take care, God Bless
Love,
