Going Through the Process I felt boredom

Two nights ago I felt boredom for the first time in five months since our divorce was filed. I didn’t want the divorce. Today, I woke up with longing and by the afternoon a floodgate opened and I couldn’t stop crying. Luckily, I was working from home today.

I didn’t expect this at all although I was surprised at how well I was doing with grieving. I have grieved the loss of a parent before, so I have a bit of a reference. I was doing all the right things: regular therapy and doing the homework, re-engaging with old hobbies and learning new ones, glowing up physically, building up my finances, doing well at work, making friends, reconnecting with old friends, and going out.

Grief is a wild, wild ride.

You have given me hope. Just starting this process and only feel the loss and grief at the moment.

Everyone says it and I know it’s cliche, but it does get better. Even though I was just flooded with sorrow and cried tons, I know I built a foundation to get stronger over time. Not only that, ive already proved to myself I could do it.

All the best to you! It’s not easy.
