Go ahead and drop your guard for once; you deserve that. I have found this blog to be eloquent and wise--the best of the blogs on this painful topic. Having a husband leave you after 26 years (mine did the same 9 months ago) hurts to the core. The abandoned jewelry made me saddest in this post, though it's obvious to me that Bob's "reasons" for leaving had everything to do with his fears for his own future in which he, too, would inevitably slow down and lose his youthful fitness--as witnessed by the photo. Thank you for your intelligent and healing words. Bob was wrong: your writing has borne fruit.
I'm writing this blog for people who are going through the pain of divorce and who are seeking solace from someone who has gone through the same experience. Each of us has an individual story to share. I hope mine can help someone deal with their grief and loss.
During the time of my divorce, books, advice columns, lawyers, counselors, movies, and some of my friends were of little help. I wanted to split amicably, with civility and HUMOR, and with my dignity intact.Besides, most self-help books target much younger people who face the challenges of raising small children and who (for the most part) have less income at their disposal. This was not my case.
As in all divorces, my experience was painful. Hugely so, for I was losing my best friend - someone who had been part of my life for 32 years. In this blog I describe the steps I took to retain my sanity, nurture my inner self, and find the strength to move on and create a new life.
