How did you handle the pain of separation?

I believe I had the least painful separation on the planet. We had already sold our house, were living back in my hometown near lots of supportive family members and the kids rarely saw their dad at all. It was very trauma free, especially not having to sell property or be uprooted. Plus my ex had told me we were going to get divorced for so many years before it happened, that it was a well-accepted fact when it actually did happen. Anyhow, I know that most people suffer great loss at this time, especially when it wasn't really expected. I couldn't imagine coming home and unexpectedly finding a note from my spouse saying he had left like some people do. Then having to dispose of mutually owned property on top of it! So, people who have experienced such a difficult separation - how did you cope? What did you do to keep your sanity when your world was unexpectedly crumbling around you? I have a very good friend in this situation and want to find creative, positive ways to help him cope.

I had to go to hell and back. After one really horrible night I had to pick myself up or I knew I wouldn't make it. I came out of it a stronger person!

Well this is a very, very, hard time in one's life. I was married for 22 years, and we live in a small town and It has been almost 3 years now for me. Well I passed my ex today with his girlfriend that he is liveing with during our divorce and it was hard to see but, you know the Lord has plans for us. I don't know what they are but trust in him and don't rush into another persons arms because it will just delay the greaveing we have to due. I have painted my house, clean the yard, read, write, alot of praying for peace and forgiveness. I can't forgive yet but one day the sun will shine on all of our faces. You know how you lose fat? Working out and crying. Work on you any way you can. I have fallen to my knees out in my barn and had my face down in the dirt begging for the pain to stop and I am still here. It will take time but you will make it. Why this had to happen to us maybe is not for us to know now, but one day this too will pass. Be good to yourself now ok.!! God's Speed

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
