The winter of my discontent

It snowed here yesterday and along with this meteorological harbinger of the barren season ahead, an avalanche has fallen on my marriage. The foundations have been shaken to the core and I do not know if they can ever be repaired or restrengthened. Because this is such a deeply painful and personal subject, I will not be writing about it in here. In fact, I probably won't be writing at all for a while, as I try to take stock and decide what to do. One thing that losing my daughter has taught me is that I have inner strength that will carry my through this. I just may not be happy with what lies on the other side.

you deserve every happiness, but we all know here that deserving it doesn't guarantee getting it.

i understand not wanting to write here, where you're known, sort of, but i hope you continue to write somewhere, even on (gasp) paper, as you sort it out. if writing didn't help you process things, you wouldn't have started blogging in the first place.

i hope everything works out as best as possible for you.

While I don't know exactly what you're going through and can understand keeping it quiet, I hope that it turns out to be okay in the long run. Thinking of you.

I'm so sorry - pain heaped upon pain is the most unfair thing in the world. I'm thinking of you and hoping for happiness and peace in your future.

A thousand ((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Yikes, that doesn't sound good. I hope you change your mind and *do* write about it. I've found it helps a little, at least temporarily. In either case, I wish you the best.
