Going Through the BIG D (and I don't mean Dallas)

I'm getting a divorce.
That is such a weird thing to say, to write. I've been married for 20 years coming up in May, and I've known my husband since I was 14 (that's 24 years). What is life without this relationship?
I'm about to find out.
I've had a few days when I felt like I was going to die, but those have really been the exception and not the rule. I am soooo glad I don't have to imagine going through this without the support of my spiritual teacher and my community.
My community...you know, I've never allowed myself to have one of those before this past year or so. Slowly, so very slowly, I have come to trust myself enough to open my heart to others, to know that I will be okay even if someone is unkind to me.
You know what I've found? I've discovered that there is an absolutely incredible community willing, able, and desiring to support me and be there for me. One very dear friend and several beloveds from my spiritual community have knit a ring of love and support around me.
I didn't know I had so much support, so many people who love me and care about me. Wow!
I am so very humbled.
I am so very blessed.

Sweetie….
I am there for you. All is as it should be, although it does not seem that way probably. I survived THREE of them…and am here to say….they each taught me so much about who I am, what I want from my life and how to regroup and stand tall….
Let me know if I can help, write me PM if you need to chat. I understand.
Blessings,
Aley
Shanie….may GOD’S Grace BE So prevelant upon you & your family as you embark on a brand new day, where you are given the opportunity to redefine yourself, reach for the heavens, & grow so much more deep within. May your healing BE made complete & you BE surrounded by GOD’S Elite, of whom shall embrace you & BE there for you in every way needed. And may we ALL here on GAIA always BE here for you as well, in Spirit, Love, & support & encouragement.
prayer up’ for ya’
right here, right now.

Dear Shani:
Survived two of them myself - they served their purpose to help each of us grow, and then like two branches on a tree, we went our separate ways. I later learned that since we all grow at different rates, when the other doesn’t want to, or it isn’t time for them, to grow - then it is much better that at least one moves forward. I think you’ll recognize this later, if you haven’t already begun to, about the relationship.
You are very aware that you are moving into a new vibration (been preparing yourself for that for some time now), and I think you’ll find that as you quietly disengage that your vibration will begin to rise even higher. Know that we are all here to listen to you, to send you hugs and light, and if you ask (and sometimes even if you don’t :) ), we’ll give our advice to help you through this transition.
