Dear Diane,
Thank you for sharing with us and putting into words, what I guess many of us women go through.
After almost 21 years my marriage fell apart and I moved to a new country to start afresh. Not only was it hard being alone and far from everything that was familiar, the break up was heart rending! There were times when I believed I couldn’t go on and the depression was tremendous and horrendous, but like you, one day I came to the realization that I had to let go of the past and believe in the future…even though it didn’t look very promising at the time.
However time is a wonderful healer and now some 10 years later I am remarried and happier than I thought possible. And I believe that we go through pain and fire to forge in us the steel that lies dormant within.
Much love and best wishes,
Dianne Geeraert

Thank you for the kind words about my story. It was a hard time in my life, but we got through it. Several of my editors have told me that my writing is so much deeper now than it used to be because of my life experiences, so there was a bright side to it all! And that good life you mentioned? You’re right – we are so blessed!

This story really touched me, This also happened to me. The circumstances were different but I also could not writ,e and since my husband’s death writing has become my greatest solace. I am trying to find my way back but so far I feel as though I am still searching and trying to find it.
It sounds as though you have made a good life for you and your children.
