I am going through some rough times due to separation. My wife has left our 10 years of marriage with out any prior notice. It has been 4 months since it happened, yet I have noticed that my emotions are getting worse not better. I have a strong faith, and know that God is in control. However, as a human it is that part of you that keeps on aching. I just want those of you who are going through a similar situation, or been through it to give me some word of wisdom on what to expect, and how to deal with this viscious emotional cycle.
Thanks.
AA

aa,
I only have a few minutes but wanted to to first gieve you a cyber hug ((((((((aa))))))))) and then to say that it is not easy!!! But you will get thru this!!!!
For me, I would imagine the footsteps poem and see myself be carried by the Lord. At times I would cry out and say "LOrd you take this, I can't handle it." I would ask him how He wanted me to look at this whole situation. Posting here at MB, my prayer group and few select friends helped my get thru the most horrible thing that anyone could ever go thru. I had to work hard, but am beginning to see the fruits.
God Bless,
D.

I found a separated/divorced support group early on - which was a godsend. I also did a great deal of reading, MB and met with a counselor.
If you don't attend church regularly, find a good pastor to talk to, many are so helpful.
The pastor who ran the Rainbows program we attended was fabulous, his knowledge of all aspects of divorce was unbelieveable, and truly helpful - both emotionally and regarding the processes.
You will find support on these board, but be specific where you can. I loved a workbook I found "The Fresh Start - Separated/Divorced Recovery Workbook". It helped a great deal.

AA (AHA),
It's good to "see" you again. I have to admit that just a few days ago, I threw away the little piece of paper with your phone number on it.
I'm sorry that you're still going through the dark times.
My W and I are doing better.
I can't imagine how a Mom can walk away from her child.
I rarely visit MB, but I'll check in from time to time.
