I am fully aware that there are many of you who have suffered the death of your spouse or a divorce at an older age. You have survived it or you wouldn’t be here right now. Have you ever had thoughts of ending your life or just crawling into a hole? How did you manage? Are you OK now? Do you still suffer?
Please don’t tell me about “keeping busy” or “finding Jesus”. I know that keeping busy has got to be excellent advice but not everyone knows how to go about it. And religion is, well, nothing but hocus-pocus if you ask me. Yes, you guessed it, I am trying to cope with a life-altering separation/divorce. I believe the experience is equal to that of being widowed and I know they learn to survive too. But how do they do it?
