honestly…

There probably is a handbook on how to deal with someone leaving you. Trust me, if I could find it, I would read it cover to cover. Open a church and preach it.

People ask, “How can I help?” and I finally figured out what would make this easier. If I could just forget how much he loved me….when he did love me.  If I could forget what a good father he was to my children…when he loved us.
If I could just forget everything.

As bad as that hurts to say and hard to hear it….that’s the honest truth.

    Everything I would try to say sounds like a cliche, but things just get easier with time. We grow. We turn another direction slowly. The would scabs over, but it feels like a lifetime to get there. Hang in there. I’m thinking of you.

    my prayer is that as you continue to figure out the truth…you are strengthened.

    i think of you and your family many times….hoping, praying, wishing i were closer to really check on you.

    as lonely as you may feel at times, you are never alone.

    I am so sorry. Why does it have to hurt so much?

    Oh I’m sorry Kristine. I think your words say it all. I also believe time will heal your pain. Time also has a way of numbing feelings. Just keep finding your new normal & slowly things will fall back in line for you.

    Hmm, perhaps you could write it?

    OK, why do all of my comments end up with ‘potential spam, waiting for review’? Am I blacklisted now (or have I always been)? Sorry for it all.

    God, I know how that feels and I hate it. I hate that something that once was so good now physically pains me to think about. Some days I wish it had never happened, and some days I wish I could have just one more day. xoxo

    Yes, let’s get that scab going, with the attendant healing underneath. You have come such a long way already.

    I am so sorry. Nothing people can say will sound like more than cliches and trite comments. Know that we think of you and care for you and only want the total best for you.

    As cliched as it sounds, time heals. Right now, you will alternate between anger, sadness, disappointment, etc but time really heals. You heal the way you heal best, only you know what that is.

    I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Hang in there babe!
