The Final Hearing

[bmcneal]

was today.

All day, I've felt okay, until just now, something happened, I don't even know what, and I can't stop crying.

How am I going to do this all by myself? I can't barely do it with help from my family.

You will find a way. Ask for help if you need it, form a network of trustworthy people. Sending you peace.

It seems like you may need to give yourself space to mourn the passing of one set of hopes and a partnership. That's big & you probably need some space to acknowledge and honor what you are leaving behind. I'm sorry. It's really hard and sad to experience that finality, even when you know it's the right thing. I kept going back in my mind to the day we got the marriage license. Because things had gone badly, no one was really available to mourn with me the loss of my hopes and dreams and the love I had sincerely felt.

So -- a big hug to you.
