Hi guys,
I am really struggling without having the care and support of my special person. I can’t believe life just got ruined when I thought they would be in my life forever. I now type this alone and lost in the darkness of a painful world, while they move on and thrive.

hey @Rockdog
Am feeling you, there...
You know, I've been hearing a lot of things about how certain people leave our lives because someone else needs the room to come in...
I guess one has to be faithful to believe that, while it hardly does much to still the heartache in our dark times of grief, does it?
I am going through a very similar thing (among some other issues on top). If I can, I'd like to encourage you to choose atleast 2 or 3 things that aim at caring for yourself. You're likely not going to feel like it, maybe, but do it anyway. Take regular showers. Cook a good meal atleast once in the day. Allow time for rest, and luxuriate in that. Buy some new sheets if you must, (or my fave, new socks!)... Anything that feels and looks like care for you @Rockdog you choose. Maybe it's letters. Or a night out at the movies...
This will not 'fix' how you're feeling. But it will help you get to the next stage of personal development and healing. I hope you can try...and please let us know how it's going 🙏

#Kyle1 thank you so much for your support. It is really tough, and I haven’t really cared enough about those things. It is something to work on, but to have someone so supportive leave is tough, I am not really coping.
