A Breakthrough not a Breakdown
filed in Grieving Process on Oct 12, 2006
A relationship has ended and you are entering into a process of healing. Divorce or a breakup of a long term relationship affects your emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual selves. Your world as you know it is changing and you may be frightened. You will be riding the waves of many emotions, from reflief to despair, anger and helplessness. You may say to yourself:
Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? Why do I have more pain, more loss? How am I going to go on withour my partner? How will I take care of myself and my children, fianancially and emotionally? Will I ever love again? Will I ever be loved again? Why is this happening? Where is God?
These questions are normal. But it is important to know that you are not being punished and your pain does have a purpose. I believe divorce or a breakup can put you on a path that brings you back in touch with your “real self”. I believe it is an opportunity to deepen and recapture the parts of yourself you have lost or forgotten. You talents, gifts, humor, joy and all your unique and wonderful gifts. The need to grieve is natural as there is a force inside of you that is always moving you toward your wholeness. Now take the leap of faith and trust that there is a gift in this crisis.
