Divorce Care

Today, I attended week 2/13 of DivorceCare through a local church. For the most part, I know what to expect from the whole divorce process but it helps to discuss it with others and see how they've overcome different stages of their divorce / grief. I've done a lot of research but there's still more information gained at the meetings. Today, we discussed the stages of grief and some tools to overcome them. We've been asked to write down our feelings, thoughts and emotions. I've been doing that for quite some time (hence this blog) and it's helped considerably. I feel like I need to move forward. I have to learn to be more accepting. Looking at myself from the outside, it's hard to look at an individual, a single man. The loss is difficiult to deal with but I will survive.

The pain is still here and it hurts. Has to do with anniversaries, holidays, etc. Monday, June 5th was our 7th year anniversary. I spent a lot of time reflecting on our past and where we were at each year. Today, I wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again. Can't wait until I get to the point of 'not caring.'

I will edit and provide more ... time for bed, it's after midnight.
