How are you doing this week Andy? Thinking and praying for you. Please try to go to mass as much as you can. The graces will sustain you Andy....
I have good and bad days. I have been dealing with this for a long time and don’t understand why I can’t get past it. We are coming up on about a year now from when I found out some awful truths and you’d think a year would be enough time to be able to handle things better but I’m in a big funk.
Usually it takes about a year, going through all the seasons, to begin to work through all the grief or sadness. Everyone is different, of course, and recovery might take longer. Keep asking for prayer. I prayed for you today at Mary’s Shrine in DC. I was never very good at accepting breakups in my life. I just went back over what everyone said in this thread and there is much wisdom there. Keep rereading these two pages. That’s your homework Keep in touch with us. Pray for all parties involved. Tell God you trust Him to work things out perfectly as only He can do. God bless. One day at a time, one minute at a time.
Andy, be patient with yourself. One year is not that long...divorce is as emotional for some as a death. Few get over a death in a year. You’re still in great pain....lay it at the foot of the cross every single time you have a painful memory or thought...offer it up....and when it’s too hard, beg dear St. Michael to rescue you from the pain...do that each time...you might do it ten times a day....but he will help you. If you have time to volunteer to help someone in need, try that. It might take your mind off your problems when you’re helping others. Try to find or start a rosary group....or join one. The graces will benefit you more than you could imagine. Do not stay home and sink into despair Andy. Get out of the house daily and start your day with mass...if you have time. Don’t be alone if possible. Make plans....a little at a time. Each day that passes is another day you got through... Most importantly....trust your future...your life ....to Jesus. We have no control over a lot in this life, but you have control over your faith life...in the end....it is all that will matter when we meet Jesus Andy. Life is short....just live life now for eternity. I’ll be praying for you as my friends prayed....and continue to pray for me. Remember...no one can take God from you...no one.
Including you in my prayers and intentions Andy. Hang in there, dealing with loss takes time so don't beat yourself up over it please. Our Lord knows your pain and suffering well. Remember that He bore the pain of a repeatedly unfaithful spouse.
Praying for you andy and all who need prayers!!! I had asked for prayers a while ago for my back, that my mri would be approved. Surgery is set for feb 8th. I do have a second surgeon appt this week because a back operation is very serious and i want no mistakes . i offer my pain to God for all prayers needed! Esp. Souls in purgatory
I am so grateful to be hopeful of getting this problem fixed. I am also so grateful to be part of this forum.
I had my operation in end of january and i have titanium screws holding me together. But my severe pain is gone . it will be a long road but is already better!!! My prayers for all!!!!
I had been away for a while, and I missed your post. So sorry to hear this, Andy3. I will pray for you.
Sorry to hear about these things. I have just sent a prayer request for you to the blessed mother in medjegorie and it will be put before her the next time she appears. May God bless you... Gary
Andy3, I prayed for you today at adoration for peace of mind and heart. So so difficult....such betrayal.
