I coped with this by lashing out in anger, immediately doing online dating and throwing a lot of blame at him. As I have MS. and was retired from nursing I eventually became isolated socially.
It’s been about 6 years. I am an artist and my studio out in the barn has gone unused for about 2 years. Always a reason. I have been working hard to maintain my beautiful 4 acres and little old farmhouse by myself and although my garden is my happy place it’s hard going alone. I’m still wondering what I’m going to be when I grow up. When asked to envision my life three years forward it’s hard to do since I don’t know what I want to do. I want what I had. In winter I have too much time on my hands and life is unstructured. I have a very little routine and don’t get things done. A lot of watching TV etc.
The 6 phase meditation, however, has shifted me in a very short time. I immediately felt happier and am carrying that into my relationships and myself. The setting intentions and thinking of my day in segments have pointed me in a direction that when I master it will make me more effective. Gratitude and forgiveness are also key to healing my past marriage and moving on to an extraordinary new life where I can make room for my next great love.
