heartbroken, continued heartbrokenemma: And I completely understand that so many people have been through worse breakups and divorces. My heart completely goes out to them. I have always heard about the pain but I never completely understood what the pain was like. I read the stories on here and I just wish I could make everyone feel better like I want to feel better. A lot of people tell me at least it's just a break up and not a divorce but I still feel like there has been a death. We have agreed not to talk until next week but I dont know if I can make it. And most importantly: What do I say when I talk to him? I'm sorry if my posts aren't written in the most clear way, but my brain is so worn out and tired that I just can not think clearly.
Re: heartbroken, continued Caramon29: Totally understandable!! Just think of what you need to do for you!

Re: heartbroken, continued cheryl7906: I never understood the pain until it happened to me last month, either... I don't have any advice for you. I didn't even manage to get out of bed until 4:30 today; I just laid there crying. People keep saying it gets better. I hope it does, and quickly, for both our sakes.
Re: heartbroken, continued HoldingPattern: Hi cheryl7906,
Wow, I can so relate to your post. I found out last month as well and it has been very difficult to cope with........ok it's been he##!
Yes, it does feel like the death of a loved one. I even caught myself thinking if my husband had died it might have been easier because atleast he wasn't choosing to walk out on me! But, I also think of our children and don't wish that pain on them. The good news is I can actually feel something changing in myself already. I am becoming stronger and a little less emotionally needy each day. Today feels like a good day and wish that for you all too:-)
