While this will be of little help to you at the moment I can tell you from experience that we all, sooner or later, will experience loss. How we handle loss is the true refection of our character and can be and indicator as to how we survive them. I was married to my first wife for 37 years. Somewhere around the 30th year I discovered that she had had multiple affairs early in our marriage. I had suspected one but chose not to ask at the time but had no idea there were so many. It liked to kill me and I felt much like you do now. I went to a crises councilor and after several sessions I came to understand that we had been together all those years and were pretty good friends so I did not leave her. However in the end because of life circumstance at the time, it happened again. I divorced her this time. Once I got my feet under me again however I decided that I would get on some dating sites as I was not in the city I planned to move to following the contract I was working on. I had no intention of anything permanent...just finding someone to date. I did within a fairly short time and soon found myself married. I was lucky I think because it was a good marriage. However because she had never taken care of her diabetes she had many things wrong with her and within only about four years she passed away. In many ways this was much more difficult for me as she did not leave because she wanted to. However in time I found that I had two choices. I could sit there and live my life out alone or I could begin looking again. I knew that if I chose to be alone I would more than likely not live a very long life. Getting there was not easy by any means but with the help of a very good friend from church and my family I soon found my way again and again got back on some dating sites. I am happy to say that I am married again to a wonderful woman. Now I know this will be hard for you to relate to right now but please find someone you can talk to. I had a man from church that helped me greatly. Perhaps you can find the same. He was part of a ministry that did this for people. It was designed to just let you talk it out with a caring person and I can tell you it works wonders. You need that right now. This is an okay forum for discussion but for heart to heart it is not so good. If you would like to talk more of this with someone who really knows where you are right now I would be happy to give you my email address and we can talk that way. If not I wish you the very best and if you choose to respond here I will talk back. Remember this however...it will get better with time. IT WILL I promise.

Hi. I was going through your post and I must say I was really touched - because not too many men would be willing to come out and express what they have been through. I should also say that you are a very courageous person. I am going through a rough patch right now - for the third time in the 20-odd years of my life, and you post has shown me that there are courageous people like you who have gone through much worse and have still come out of it victorious. Maybe battered and bruised, but still retain the joy of living. Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment Nakita. It is difficult to portray the true emotion of life events so that they can perhaps show that it is possible to servive a loss and go on to be happy. Clearly you were able to see that I not only could be did and what you have said is very much appreciated. I wish you well in life also.

Hello jbrooks0127, I was just reading over your response to this discussion and I decided to add my little input. I think that you are a very courageous individual to not just sit there and die because your first marriage failed after 37 years of being with someone. Not many people can just end something that they have put so much time, effort and energy into. I am so sorry to hear the circumstances that caused you guys to seperate but am glad that God eventually blessed you with someone else. I am also so sorry to hear that even after you were blessed and started to regain your happiness that after only four years your wife left but it wasn't as if she wanted to leave you so that is so great to hear. I commend you for not dying after you experienced you second lost but you got back out there and was blessed once again and hopefully you guys meet with the man up above together. Hopefully all is well with you and your family! Untill next time NakitaLikely3617 is out have a nice life.

Hello all, allow me to break in here for a moment on Baretree's discussion. Why is it that we often feel that having another person in our life is the answer that can cure what is ailing us? I just want to say that I don't always think that finding another person is always the answer. I think that sometimes we simply need to come to peace within ourselves. If we seek to find happiness and find happiness within ourselves then other people will be drawn to it I'm pretty sure. I think that happiness is a choice and there are certain things that we simply have to put behind us, particularly if we know that we can't do anything about it. I have found meditation to be fairly helpful in dealing with a loss... It's just a suggestion. Wishing you all the best.

Hello Baretrees. Welcome to myLot and it's great to meet you here. From someone who has experienced a lot of hurt, let me tell you this - at the moment the pain would be so severe that you may feel that it would never go away. Well, wounds never heal completely, but the pain does lessen in time. Try to have a hobby (even if it's blogging on myLot - it pays you anyway :-).... )or, join a gym and work out. Tire yourself out physically each day so that at the end of the day you are so tired that you would just like to hit the bed. When you wake up the next morning, you will find that the pain has lessened by atleast 0.000000000000001%. True, it takes very long for the pain to go down to the extent that it doesnt haunt you each moment. But you can make a start here. It has worked with me. All the best, and happy mylotting :-)
