This holiday season has been awful. My husband moved out (he is an alcoholic) and left me on my birthday weekend at the end of October and I have now spent Thanksgiving and Christmas without him. Now the worst of it is on its way...January 1st will be our 12th anniversary and we won't be together. My friends have rallied around me to make sure I won't be alone. I have already filed for divorce but I am overwhelmed with sadness and grief. I am questioning our entire marriage and my trust is shattered. New Years will never be the same for me again...how do I get through this weekend and all future New Years?
Still I think of her on that date, but I have joy too.
We grieve, we move on and life takes on new meaning and purpose. The grief loses it charge and fades away.
The day of my anniversary i am sad but I
Move thru it. This year i tore up 4 wedding
Photos, i did not really like them anyway. It
was The symbolism. I honored my sadness
yet It is no longer an honorable special day.
We separated after our 29th and were divorced
One month before our 30th. I was very thankful
I Did not make that benchmark while in separation.
My suggestion is attend divorce care to help with
The grieving and divorce process also having a
Good therapist during these times helps too. Many
Have done that more often afterward. The transition
Phase is a very hard one. None of this whole process
is Simple. I attend alanon too, I Was not ashamed I
Needed help and was not afraid to reach for it. HUGS
You sane during insane times. Grieving Is a
huge part of this whole process.
Divorce care is a little religious but you Get
at the meat and potatoes of all the issues And
you are around others walking around in the
muck. Religious or not divorce is brutal for all
Concerned.
Many of the mutual relationships change, People
take sides so many unpleasant Surprises and feelings
and emotions. I felt like a Ticking time bomb even
with all my other support. HUGS
This year my anniversary was on Thanksgiving. I will admit I spent more time in the bathroom than I thought I would as I felt the tears start. But I just tried and pushed HIM out of my head when he popped in. While it's been 3 years for me, some moments are still very close to the surface but I will admit, not near as intense as that first year. Hang in there, keep your head up and do your best to look forward, not behind.
