I can remember in the minutes after I realised that my marriage was over, I felt a terror and an overwhelming helplessness. I felt a panic that I’d never experienced before in my life and never have since.

I wasn’t ready for this. I hadn’t had time to prepare.

What scared me was all the responsibilities that now seemed to have suddenly exploded into my life and fallen on my inadequate shoulders.

How did I take care of a house all by myself? How did I look after a car that all I’d ever done to it was drive it? What if I got sick, who would look after me? How could I keep running my business when my heart was broken? Who would bring me a cup of tea in the morning and lock the house up at night?

I’ve created a new Facebook group where we can support each other. It’s the group I wish I’d had when all this happened to me. Please check it out and if it resonates, please join.
