What's this advice to keep your chin up?? Ya know what happens if you do that, don't you? Someone's bound to sock it!!!!
Keep smiling, Cas! Well, it's easier than crying and far less messy!
One thing I've found helpful - look at the clouds! They're majestic. I love just standing watching them scud across the sky.
Even better than a shiraz.
Cheers, Ozzie

Hang in there, Caspian, it gets better, I promise.
And I second what Franklin J said; if you ever come to our side of the pond, I'll buy you a beer!
Hi Caspian
sorry to hear you are going through yet another trauma.
I hope you can begin to build a new life once the formalities are sorted.
Can you make plans for something nice in the near future such a few days off or a holiday and make it totally differant to what you would have done in the past.
Sorry if such thoughts are insensitive.
((((((Take care))))))

I am going through the same, my wife and I split up about two months ago after a 17 years marriage. It hurts but as many have said in their comments it needs time..so all the best!
Sorry to hear about this... But what happens, "happens!" I'm in pain myself dude!
I really appreciate the kind comments
I think Ozzies Rosemount sounds good to me
Anglise, I am going to Orlando with Lainey and a couple of friends in Jan, I am sure that will be a really good break.
Cheers

Divorce does hurt, unless you just had no love ever at all for your mate or your a simple ass which it does not sound like you are. It will take time, time is the only healer so be around others go where there is people go to some crazy church if you have to. Don't stay alone like I did. If you have kids never forget to spend time with them let them know how much you love them, children can heal you its in their nature. Then go some where and cry, then go shoot a game of pool and have a hamberger and frys, and above all don't do anything rash.

It is hard. Most people believe this is forever when they take those vows. The plan for a lifetime with this one person. If you married as a JW you planned an eternity or however long marriage was allowed. Most people don't think of it ending in divorce.
Even though many people want the divorce it is still hard. All the dreams we had need to be mourned. That can be a lot of losses. And then there are the people we lose. That too needs to be mourned.
Take care of yourself and find positive ways to say goodbye to the hopes and dreams that never materialized.
