Re: The early days..how to deal dgiirl: PUTP, I can definitely relate to those feelings. And let me tell you, everything you are going through is normal, painful, but normal. The early days I simply cried and cried and cried. At work, at home, out in public, anywhere and everywhere, i just cried and let it all out. I prayed a lot, I read a lot, I went to counselling. I made a plan for my future. I grasped onto anything that would make my life happier for a second. I tried to stay out of the house as much as possible, and when I was home, I cleaned and kept myself busy. I organized the house so it reflected ME, and packed up all my stbxh's personal belongings. But besides all of that, the only thing you can do is to embrace the pain so you can go through it quickly. I believe the more pain and sadness you experience now, the less you will in the future, and thus in time you will slowly begin to feel better. It's times like these that give us an amazing opportunity to grow as human beings, learn more about ourselves, how strong we truely are, figure out what will make us happy in life, and learn how to achieve it. I found this quote online (forget where) that truely did help me. "Just as the happiest moments of our lives don't last forever, neither do the darkest ones."
Have faith that things will get better, because if you have faith that it will, it will!
