My widow's heart knows the sad and solitary place you describe, and the longing (hope) to have a loving partner to share the rest of life...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037499475720773192.post-59477436517390062002012-05-15T21:52:25.130-05:002012-05-15T21:52:25.130-05:00What you feel is real, but it is not the truth :) ...What you feel is real, but it is not the truth :) God is the truth, way, and light (right?!).

My heart hurts for you. I can somewhat empathize. Just wanted to pass on from a 34 never-been-married-but-want-to woman who desires for a godly man who also finds her beautiful and wants to have the relationship that was intended in the Bible. Please know that your hurt is real, your words are honest, and there are no great answers to solve it. <br /><br />On days like these, I know that it's always darkest before the dawn. My loneliness comes in ebbs and flows, but I am confident that my God is my Provider and can be my everything. I just need to lean on Him. Praying that He fills you with Joy as you keep taking steps forward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037499475720773192.post-54118422412271040992012-05-15T16:10:20.597-05:002012-05-15T16:10:20.597-05:00I think the reason you are writing is because you ...I think the reason you are writing is because you don't and won't allow yourself to stay in this sad place. I don't know you but I feel you are a fighter and won't stay down too much longer. Don't feel bad about writing the words... it may be just what you need to move forward. Good luck to you!!!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593604647570046795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037499475720773192.post-41679277911221711212012-05-15T15:10:31.520-05:002012-05-15T15:10:31.520-05:00Yeah.

It's terribly frightening. Sometimes it's just too hard to remember that there have been moments of intense happiness and joy. One thing that helps me is to reach out to others, just like you've done, and another thing is to just remind myself that the way I feel will change. It might be worse, it might be better, but it will change. <br /><br />And, yes, there are good men in the world, and good women too, like you.Tanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928480284122516687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037499475720773192.post-4907609470412854542012-05-15T12:26:34.117-05:002012-05-15T12:26:34.117-05:00It is very normal after the dissolution of a relat...It is very normal after the dissolution of a relationship to have these thoughts, to assume all men must be like your ex, and to wonder if anyone out there is different and how will you find them. Congratulations! You are normal. <br /><br />Indeed, there are men who can and do rise above the "natural man" as they say. What if you met one right now, today? Would you be ready for him? Of course not silly, now is the time for healing, YOUR healing. So try not to worry about the men just yet, they aren't as important as the healing of your heart and soul. Allow yourself to go through the stages of grief, and allow God to show you how wonderful your new life will be.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177028541482022474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037499475720773192.post-35486581264456291732012-05-15T09:14:00.519-05:002012-05-15T09:14:00.519-05:00You are not "shamelessly complaining," r...You are not "shamelessly complaining," rather you are a brave, genuine writer. It is a risk to write with the raw heart you bring to the page. There are no answers, no magic wands, no special potions to heal your hurt...there is the waiting page and your brave words that will, eventually, help you gain footing in the rocky terrain. Keep writing and stop feeling guilty about the emotions you are feeling.<br />RuthRuth Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691244229499772525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037499475720773192.post-60412979860202088432012-05-15T03:46:48.814-05:002012-05-15T03:46:48.814-05:00Excellent and heartfelt commentary.
