Pain

I’m just divorced and feel so lonely and disconnected with those around me

Feelings

Fear, anxiety, anger, shame. Sadness, guilt

Gain

I feel so sad that my marriage has ended. I feel guilty that I couldn’t hold it together and make it work. I want to get through this and know I can be happy again. I want to be able to look back with love and acceptance of what's past and feel excited and confident about my future and who I will meet. I’m worried the kids are going to be OK. They are hurt ad angry with me and have to be strong.
