I was married as a teenager and I clearly remember how I felt after my marriage of 18 years ended in divorce. It was as if half of my body had been amputated. (I mean no offense to those who have suffered an actual amputation.) I felt a phantom pain every day for months. My use of the word "WE" was eliminated and it stung me. I had shared the years of 18-36 with my husband and we had grown up together. With divorce, he was gone and I was now on my own. There were dark times and my heart felt physically broken and in much pain, but a new life is possible. New memories, new growth and an acknowledgement of all the possibilities laying ahead of me showed up. I saw that I had so many opportunities to make good choices for myself. Your blog helps me look back on myself and my experience with divorce in a healthy way.
