As many of you know, I've been awaiting word from my lawyer. My divorce became final this week, and I don't feel good about it at all. I feel a deep, indescribable sadness like I haven't felt for a long time. I thought there would be some sense of relief, a burden lifted or that somehow the cloud over me would disappear. It occurred to me how quietly and unnoticed the passing of a marriage can be, so unlike the fanfare and celebration that precededs the joining of two souls. How different things are, here at the end, than they were in the beginning!
I feel as thoigh a part of me has died, I can only pray that God will give me the strength to make up for what has been lost. I know my God is able, but I feel particularly weak and weary today. I covet your prayers not only for myself, but for my daughter. Thank you for checking on me Gracey, this too shall pass sister...Lord help us all in the hour of need!

Oh, you sweet girl, I am so sad for you. How I wish there were something that I could do or say to comfort your hurting heart. I am so sorry that your marriage had to end like this.
My prayer for you is that you find comfort in knowing that YOU did everything that you could do ... you were an amazing wife. You ran a good race, the Lord is pleased with you. He is looking down at you with a smile and saying "that's my girl". I am most certain that most days when he looks down at me he says something like "oh my goodness gracious, that child wears me out".
Unfortunately, some people cannot be helped. We can pray, talk, plead, love, show kindness, pray some more, and to no avail, they have to go their own way to find their way, their own way. Their hearts are so blackened with sin that only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash them white as snow again.
Of course you feel as though a part of you has died; in a sense it has. But, we both know that our Father has something so beautiful planned for you and your daughter. He will not let your hurt last forever. You are his precious daughter and he loves you ... when you face the moments where you doubt you will have the strength to carry on another second, he will carry you. Maybe you could carry around the picture of your daughter's footprints that you took in the sand in Pensacola (I sure hope I have that correct), look at those to remind you of the Footprints in the Sand.
I will continue to keep both you and your daughter in my prayers ... Keep checking in and sharing how you are doing.
And, hey, you are right, Sister, "This too Shall Pass", sometimes a gallon of Ben and Jerry's ice cream helps it pass quicker!
Holding you close to my heart along with your daughter and believing that our Father will hold you even close.
Love and Blessings
Grace

Broken...hugs.
divorce is never easy. The sadness even in my situation was/is unbearable. Keep going to God even when you can not speak. He will comfort you. It still gets me in the heart a year after my divorce. It does get easier to deal with. It helps to have things to do and others to take care of. Mostly it's a grieving process that God helps you walk through. Divorce is a death...the death of a relationship...and needs to be grieved as such. Hang on Hon. Cling to God.

Dear Gracey, Hope, Amy, Ellekay, thank you all for the amazing affirmation and support. There have been so many times I needed to get something off my plate, and my BG family were there with advice, prayers, love...and most of all compassion.
I will keep in touch, maybe one part of the journey is helping others get through their own trial. One startling lesson for me in this is how common this problem actually is. It has made me be extra guarded for myself and my daughter's sake, and I pray that God will guide and protect as He always has.
Bless you all...you are always on my prayers!
Broken

Broken, don't you dare leave us...that is unless God is leading you elsewhere. We always want to follow our Lord. I do expect you to keep in touch however. I love you as a sister and would miss you.

Hi broken, sorry to hear you are feeling so down. Its only to be expected, its the finality of the dreams and hopes being over. as Amy says, its time to grieve what has been lost
You did all you could do, and when you have done all you can, stand.
