Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and 6 my God!-Psalm 42:5-6a, NLT
Grief is great with a marriage ending via infidelity.
You have all the loses that come with your marriage ending and then loses around the traumas of infidelity. Those include losing “friends” who turned on you during your time of need.
It is a season of loss.
I remember fearing I would never stop crying.
Spoiler alert: I did stop crying. The grief was finite.
However, I DID need to cry and go through the pain. Avoiding or numbing would not have been good for me.
Yes, it feels overwhelming at times. I know. But you need to have a space where you are honest with yourself and allow yourself to feel the loses. You cannot avoid it forever.
It does not make you defective or weak to have great grief. That only means you loved deeply and that actually means you are amazing. Don’t let your cheater take that from you!
