    I’m so sorry, lovely. I’ve been through a divorce and I know how much it hurts
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi, It’s been a difficult time for me recently and the last few days have been particularly upsetting. The one positive point for me is I now know where I stand. One problem is that for the foreseeable future my wife and I need to share the marital home. I think we can deal with things amicably but I do find it tough at times.

    I’m meeting my sister this evening for a chat. She recently went through a divorce and I’m sure she’ll understand how I feel and impart some sympathy and sound advice.

    I’m a bit battered and bruised but I’m still here looking forward and not back (most of the time).

    Looking forward is incredibly hard when you're in the midst of something so painful, but it's so important. You are doing brilliantly.

    Drew that's good you're managing to keep looking forward, hope the chat with your sister went well.

    For me today was a quiet day. The most exciting thing to happen was the chap from the local council visiting to deal with a wasps nest. However the positive of the day was that my negative thoughts seemed fewer and further apart. I’d be happy to have a few more ‘quiet days’.

    That's brilliant less negative thoughts and farther apart has to be a big plus.
