It's hard enough

I can't imagine being divorced. It's hard enough trying to dig deep enough to recover from the pain of a breakup from a boyfriend of 3 months.

Crying
sleeping in
sobbing, crumpled on the floor
missing school
missing work
napping all day
tears streaming during forcedly normal conversations
not eating
not sleeping
sleeping too much
irregular sleep
dangerous thoughts
hopelessness
fear
chest pains
foggy brain
delayed responses
lack of caring
irrational emotions at uncalled for times

Symptoms of a broken heart. Symptoms of heartache, brought on by a casual dating experience. What must it be like to be a mom of 3 children and your husband doesn't want come home one day or ever again? What must it be like to be a newly wed and your husband decides he wants to take it all back? What must it be like to live as man and wife for 64 years, and you wake up one morning and the man who has been with you and loved you through fire and rain...fell asleep forever? I cannot fathom what that pain is like.
