I received an email today from someone whom I have never met, but has shared a similar heartbreak. She spoke of a bond that we shared.
I thanked her for taking the time and energy to reach out to me. What a gift not only from her, but I suspect there was a divine intervention working within all of this.
I believe that love is what God is made of, and I found her letter to be filled with love and nothing else. Thank you!
I told her I was getting better and stronger. I hoped she could see that as she read through my string of blogs. I was touched that she had read them. My writing is my outlet, but it is also a way for me to reach people's hearts: namely women's hearts. I loved that she has read them.
I told her that recovering from a very broken heart is not easy, and I know, as did she, that it doesn't get easier when it happens a 2nd or 3rd time..... or more. I think it actually can get harder as it brings up all the past heartaches and can multiply the pain.
There are life lessons learned even in heartache, and I have learned some valuable things to carry forward with me into my future.
First I have learned that Love is always the answer to every question. Love does not always feel good, but I must love even though... And part of love is letting go and letting it be and loving what is, even when it hurts... love.
Secondly, I have learned that trust must be with God, that no matter what happens, I will be OK, and so will my world. I am loved beyond measure by God, and I am completely surrounded by His goodness no matter what is going on around me.

Thirdly, I have learned that I am capable of loving deeply and completely. And I can again.
I do believe that her email was a blessing in my life today.
I thanked her for sending it. It was a very loving thing for her to do. I am grateful.
This woman encouraged me today. And I believe through her, God encouraged me too.
She ended her letter to me with, "God is good." I agree completely with her.
I am grateful.
Namaste,

Judy,
ReplyDeleteI too have suffered more than one broken heart in my adult life. One divorce, one almost marriage, and now a second perfectly imperfect marriage.
What I have learned about love is to never regret that you tried. Love is a beautiful thing. It is humans that are complicated. We show ourselves what we are capable of. With faith and love, we can survive anything.
I have enjoyed reading your blog. All the best, Leslie Wilsey-Maggi
