Way to go! You can overcome. Here's what I've learned: Here's what I've learned so far: -When a loved one leaves you, you feel punished, like they've taken your memories, your heart, your hopes and dreams with them -It feels like your body has been sliced in half. Now, you must grow back the parts that were severed -I can live alone and like it -I can take care of myself and no one else and still like it (I never thought as a Mom I'd find fulfilment in this). -I can survive without sexual relations and not miss it, well, too much -I can overcome feelings of hatred, depression, envy, resentment, guilt and the intensity of failure, and survive. I can train my mind to think positive thoughts and focus on the present moment. -Life isn't fair, but still good -People you love change, and not always for the best. -Love your friends unconditionally -The pain associated with intense grief is so overwhelming, it feels disabling, but it is not permanent. God heals. Time heals. -Character counts. Good advice! 1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant. 2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to. 3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.' 4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. 5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts. 6. Try to make at least three people smile each day. 7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. 8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card. 9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 12. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 13.

When things don't go the way we thought they were going to go, we have to step back and see it as a learning experience. There really is truth to the saying, "Things happen for a reason". This will become more evident to you as time goes on. You've learned a great life lesson! Take care.
