Divorce is an ending. Endings result in a sense of loss. Grief ensues.
Below are some of my personal wonderings of loss and grief through the divorce process.
- Is the grief for me or for them?
- Is it a sense of loss for what was?
- Feel how it feels
- Drain the grief pool
- Feel, allow, don’t judge
- Waves, ride the waves
- Depth
- Let it pass through
- Exquisiteness of moving through the other side of the wave
- Let it wash over you
- Deference of what will be now
- Acceptance of what is
- I will be changed through it
- Loss of what was
- Loss of what is
- Loss of what was to be
- Letting go of the life and being (self) as I created it
- Letting go of who I think he is
- Letting go of who I choose to see
- Death of my life as it was
- Youth
- Attractiveness
- Sex, physical intimacy
- Loss of future moments, shared goals, dreams and visions
- Loss of family unit
- Loss of Love
- Loss of everything I have valued, worked for, lived for and cherished
- Keep going
