Sometimes it is very easy to drown on the deep sorrow that loneliness offers us when we just go through a rupture that scratches the soul. However, with the time and a pair of scars from previous losses, one learns that even though it hurts for real and deeply, the objective is to be aware of ones feelings and thoughts and about whatever lesson this relationship has to leave us.
So I'll keep repeating to myself: you know this is only temporal, only an acute pain, not a chronic one, it'll pass and you'll be better. Think about what you can learn from all this and be grateful for the opportunity of have loved and have been loved. Remember: you are never alone, loneliness is no more than a macabre trick of a mind used to sadness.
A woman alone is a fortress of strength,

A shelter of independence for herself.
What a beautiful comment Terri! Thank you so much for your warmth and kindness. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteLoneliness is not bad by itself; we tend to think it is bad when it comes whenever we least expect it. It is hard, for I have an experience of my own- separated from my family twice within a single year. August 15th, 2011 is the day that would remain forever in my mind; on that day, I escorted my wife and my daughter to her parents' house. In fact, that was the last thing that I was thinking of: separation. It happened, and I still can see the tears of my wife, knowing that, no matter how short I would in the US, it would be an everlasting absence. I tried to soothe her when I knew that I could barely hide my own tears. My daughter, oblivious to what was going around her, kept playing on her swing. I do feel lonely since the only person who understands me is 8000 miles away. I feel that time has betrayed my expectations many times, but this very one is the worst for me.
ReplyDeleteThis is just part of my story that I wanted to share with you, Laura.
Laura, I wonder if you know how pearls are formed. A pearl is formed by a scratch within its shell; with the passage of the time, that scratch grows to be a pearl, and as the time passes, the pearl grows in beauty and price.
I guess you are a priceless pearl, Laura; just believe in it.
Oh, Laura, you brought it again..
