~ Poem: For WOMEN only~ (page 7)

Abandoned

Thanks FHN, I appreciate the kind words...

Here's the poem I wrote after I recovered:

Kind Of Bliss Although I’ve struck another “END,”
I do not feel amiss.
What happened was what’s meant to be,
A truth I can’t dismiss.

The first night that I slept alone,
My slumber was remiss.
But when I woke up safe and sound,
I knew I had fate’s kiss.

It hurt to see our common friends;
It ached to reminisce.
But seeing they were still my friends,
Showed me their love exists.

So now each day that I endure
This trip through the abyss.
I realize that by facing fear,
I’ve found a kind of bliss.

Here's the poem I wrote after I recovered:

Thank you for sharing, Aband. I am glad you eventually found your bliss. For me, I find it takes about six months of gradual steps to reach a comfortable place in healing from big losses. I've found this to be so in mourning the death of my brother and mother, in my first divorce and when my daughter unexpectedly took off with my four year old grandson and eventually ended up in Hawaii. So now when I consider any big loss I might be about to go through, I remember the six month time period. It may be different for others than me, but for me it's about six months.

You're welcome. I guess you're right on that six month thing. I've heard from some that it takes one half the time you were with someone to get over them after divorce or breakup. That doesn't seem right in a long relationship though. Oh well...

I think the six months time period is more of getting over the initial shock and the worst pain of a loss. I'm not sure you ever completely get over losing someone you were with a long time or with a death. When you get to the six month period, the nightmares have usually stopped and you sort of turn that corner where you know you will survive. It's a gradual process though. At first you are in shock. Then comes extreme pain and mourning. At that point you wonder how you go on without the person. By six months you usually know you will survive and go on. For my brother Cory, well, I am okay as long as I don't talk and think about him depth. If I do, I will cry again and it's been almost 31 years. I still care about both of my ex husbands. The first one was much harder to get over completely though.

It progresses until both threads are subsequently locked.

Well, well, this thread sure never got locked.

I am bringing this back to the top because it was such a good laugh and resulted in a good discussion.

I didn't know when I made the thread that a year later my life would be totally changed and that Andy and I would be no more. We do still love each other and still talk at least every other day.

Sorry. Next time I'll put those black bars over our eyes

Sssssshhhhh, you don't have to tell everything!
