It's amazing how little things can be like a fresh wound to the heart. I offered a bed and dresser to my husband a few weeks ago. Today I packed all the stuff up and delivered it. I thank God that my good friend was able to help because the emotional burden is just too much to do alone. My husband and I are divorcing for reasons of abuse and non-repentance. So far it's going well. I keep myself at a safe distance from him because he's volatile and could be dangerous. I come back to my apartment today and it just seems empty. I think it was only a few days ago that I realized just how alone I am. I'm thankful that God is always with me in spirit, but because I live alone and now am not working, I am physically alone a lot. It just hit me a few days ago that he's not coming back. Today is just one more tearing, and it hurts.

Sorry to hear about your situation. You're going through a major change in your life and you need to just rest in God. Loneliness can be a terrible thing however, God can fill that space. Put your trust in him and he will lead you. I pray that God will send a good sister in Christ across your path. In Jesus name amen.

Jordache,
I'm going to write a prayer here; if you and others who read it agree then so be it.
"Whenever two or more are agreed on earth concerning anything that God wills, so shall it be in heaven." (The two or more are His disciples,
He's talking about His disciples; which we are.)

Heavenly Father, You see the need.
We can't see the depths of our sister's hurt .......but You can,
and more than that ...you do.
I thank You Jesus that You came not only to save us from eternal separation through the offering of
Your perfect life and obedient death, but you came to understand our sufferings as people,
fallen away from Your perfect grace.
I also thank You Father that You thought it necessary for us to have an high priest who
can be touched with the tearing torment of our infirmities. (You didn't have too.)
And I thank You Holy Spirit---Thou Great Comforter; that You are here in the empty place of our hearts,
even when we don't feel it or recognize Your presence.
Thank You that You covered all the bases God,............and that Your Love sticketh closer than a brother,
.....or a husband.
Thank You Jesus that You are filling up her loneliness with songs in the night by Your Spirit.
And for Your tender mercies which like dew drops fall on her every morning.
And God though we know people change, Your ever present Love abides on us forever.
Amen.

I am so very sorry for the pain you feel but I am really quiet proud of you for having the guts to leave him. Not many women can find the courage they need to venture out on their own. I will pray for you to get a job also okay. Just think of it like this okay. It is perfectly natural for you to feel what you are feeling. The ending of something is usually bittersweet and makes you sad. I think the pain is a way of helping us let go and our teacher. It is suppose to hurt I think. Its a ending. You only feel this way now but I tell you what sista....as soon as that pain dulls down you are going to get yourself back and life is going to become beautiful because its just your world now and in your world you can do whatever you want whenever you want and now the possibility for a Godly man that is going to be everything you could want in a man is there where before you were stuck with that. There is Hope for your future now. It only seems lonely because everything is new. Each day from this day forward things will start to get better. Let your heart fill up with excitement at the possibilities of a bran new future being forged before your very eyes. You are in my prayers Miss Jordache. Email me anytime if you need to talk to someone okay.

Amen to what RickShafer said.

Jordache, please remember to seek some kind of fellowship where you are, will you? Even if it's just spending some time at a cafe having people around.
We humans are strange, we often need company the most when we want to be alone the most.

Prayers and hugs

I want to second what wwjd_kilden said. We have a similar situation in our prayer group now, and the only thing holding the woman together is fellowship.

My wife went through it before she met me, and let me tell you, you WILL make it. The fellowship my wife found that helped her survive for 7 years before me is still friends with me after nearly 40 years, now that my wife has died. So I can tell you, fellowship is critical, and in the end it will be a wonderful part of your life, regardless how it may feel now.

I definately know the value of fellowship. I have good friends that know what's going on. It's a bit more difficult right now because I'm jobless, so Im alone ALL day trying to fill up the time.
