Alone

[mg0086]

It's been a month.

I'm falling apart, this overwhelming lonelyness is haunting me. All I wanted was a loving relationship and even that crashed and burned. I had to make that very harsh decision to let him go because he was atheist and wouldn't allow me to raise Catholic children....I loved him so much...but I couldn't be with him...

Depression has plagued me once again as it did before i came back to the church. Being here alone, it's taking over me....I'm afraid that the same thing that happened before. For those who don't know I was suicidal before coming back.

I never brutally hated 'love' so much....

It's time to pray and it's time for you to do the praying too.

This too shall pass.
Time is your friend.

My g/f is amidst a brutal divorce.
She is recooping after 8 months seperated. So time is essentially a friend...and when you look back eventually, you will be glad you made this decision.

You would be better to hurt now than to marry someone you may end up divorcing with kids in tow and being really hurt and in pain.

B/f's are eventually replaceable.... hate to sound so cold.
BUT husbands - well that's trickier.

Be strong and know things will work out eventually, stay strong in faith and God will lead you to where you need to be.

I know this is hard right now, but it will get easier as time goes by. As WA said, it is better to have some heartache now than to marry the wrong person and be devastasted later. Just turn to Jesus and ask him to help.

I am reminded of the gospel reading from yesterday - Mt. 14: 29-31. Peter gets out of the boat to go to meet Jesus, walking on the water. However, he gets scared and calls out to Jesus to help him. Immediately Jesus reaches out and lifts him up! That is what you need to do - cry out to Jesus and he will life you up!

My prayers are going up for you!

Good reminder for all of us.

However it is hard being where you are right now. My prayers mg0086, for you and your intentions.

I'm sorry you are in so much pain. Healing takes time and when one door closes, another one opens. Give yourself the time you need. You are grieving right now over losing someone you love. You made a very courageous decision. In time, you will become stronger. Life's trials teaches us things and helps us to grow and build character.

Hang in there. Its going to be alright. There is always hope. When the world crashes around us, its because something needs to be rebuilt into something stronger.

I want to thank all for your kind words. It's definately safe to say that I'm far from over it yet. and it will only hurt worse before it gets better.

I chose God over my fiancee may sound heartless to some, but to me it just shows how much i'm willing to give up...and at times i think I'm truely very crazy to do so. I still can't speak to him, well, because I'm not over him. It's going to prove hard as his bithday is coming up and we still agreed to be friends. I just don't want him coming over anytime soon becasue I then I won't want him to leave....

This is proving to be extrememly difficult for me...

I know how that feels, to be so emotionaly tied up in something that you can not even talk to the person
I know how much lonliness can hurt
you do not sound heartless, it sounds like true love for God, I really mean this, I wish I could be more like you

The Lolcats thread is really cheering me up

I need a real good laugh in times like these! No wonder the entertainment business is still booming even through this recession..

It never feels like it at the time, but this too shall pass.

Keeping you in prayers in the meantime.

My added prayers for your pain. It sometimes hurts to do the right thing. I am also praying for that young man's coming to Christ! I am not willing to write him off yet!

I also will always keep you in prayer and will always be here for you!

I'll be praying for you tomorrow at 12:30 AM GMT (London Time). I you want to pray together, you are invited. The prayer would be a long, precious, old Marian hymn, that I only know in Spanish

but there's a link in English The Akathist Hymn - to the Blessed Virgin Mary Eastern Catholic Devotion
