I always find a sadness in this time of year. Although the end of August is still technically summer, there is a sense that everything has peaked and it is the beginning of the end.
This year that sense is overwhelming as events in my private life mirror the seasonal shifts outside. It seems my marriage is over.
If you are shocked and surprised by that news, having read what I have written here previously about my relationship with T, then you are not alone. I was taken completely by surprise by his announcement that he was leaving me for another woman. As well as feeling sad, hurt, angry, confused and anxious, I am also feeling unbelievably stupid. How could I not have known?
I won't write more now. I just wanted to let anyone reading this know what was happening, and why I haven't blogged recently. I may not blog too much in the near future - or I may be on here every day venting and/or pondering this strange turn of events. Or distracting myself by writing about other stuff. I don't really know at the moment - I don't seem to know anything at all for certain right now. Except that summer's ending.
I tried to send you a picture of a blue rose but i don't think it was successful. i am mentally sending you huge bunch's of flowers.
ReplyDeleteDear Moonroot,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of the difficult time you must be going through. Although I haven't left a comment on your blog before I enjoy reading it regularly and really feel for you right now. May love and light be with you to give you the strength you need to look forward to the spring.
Blessed be

Sending you a big warm virtual hug. I just want to take a magic wand and zap the pain away for you.
ReplyDeleteRing me if you need to. J sends big hugs and kisses to his special Auntie Moonroot too.
Sorry to hear your news. Like another comment I often read your blog but have not commented before.
ReplyDeleteHaving been in the same situation many years ago I can only tell you that things will get better although at the moment I guess that you cannot see that.
Sending a hug

What an awful experience. You are not stupid, not matter how out of the blue this was. We go into love with our hearts open and we try to trust. You loved well and that is the truth of it. There is nothing shameful or stupid about that. Be with the pain and allow it to move through you. Be gentle with yourself and may your healing be swift. Bright blessings.
ReplyDeleteMoonroot I am so sorry to read this I can feel your hurt and confusion in this post.
ReplyDeleteSpring will come again in the mean time I send you light and love
oh Moonroot, I am so sorry. Please feel free to email me at leannehb@hotmail.com if you feel the need to unload to someone who has been through exactly the same. I am sending you the biggest virtual hug. Please dont feel alone.

The death of a marriage is a terrible thing and the aftermath even worse. But know that you are loved and cherished elsewhere. That like the death of the year in autumn and winter there is a rebirth in the spring.
ReplyDeleteCancerian you are, but have some Scorpionic essence. You too shall be reborn in the Spring. I may be new to your place here, but I shall come and encourage you as others do. Cancerians can cling to feelings even when perhaps they ought to loosen their claws, so be kind to yourself too.
Practical suggestion - get yourself a notebook and write your feelings there. It gives you the chance to grieve and vent as wildly and weepily as you need and to put it all outside of your heart so your heart can heal again.
Love and hugs to you.
I haven't been blogging alot at all and have just come by your blog to say hello and read this. I know it happened a few weeks ago not but the pain will still be there. It is bloody hard, I know.. I went through the same thing many years ago with my ex-husband..but believe me, there will be light at the end of the tunnel oneday. Be strong, find your inner warrior woman and please, email me any time at all. I am always willing to hold another sisters hand xoxo
ReplyDeleteI read your more recent entries backwards in terms of chronology, so I came across this one after commenting on some later ones.
ReplyDeleteI was very sorry to read this news, and even more so to read that there was another involved, which always makes these situations that much more difficult for the grieving and aggrieved person - not that any relationship breakdown is ever easy, at least not in my experience or anyone I know.
I hope that by now healing has fully entered into your life, and would very much like to add my own goodwill to that already expressed by so many others. Take care, and may you know the nurturing love of the Mother also taking care of you. x
