Beginning Again - A milestone on the divorce recovery journey

[jodiekennon]

I'm going through an extremely painful divorce right now & this video touched my heart. I know I made the right decision but can't seem to pull myself together. I'll try the forgiveness route someday but today I just want to hate him for all he has done to me & my kids. Karma will catch up with him at some point.

I am proud to say my younger sister created this. I am a ways behind her in my healing. Divorce was final one year ago. And I finally cleansed with fire tonight. All those papers, mostly. I have been following her advice about DECIDING to heal, and forgiving 10 times a day--it helps. No matter what becomes of me, whether I find a new love or not, I know I made the right decision for me. The same love for myself that got me out of there is the love that I use to heal and grow. Thanks, Sis

Omg..thank you so much for this video. I am just very recently divorced from a man who did nothing but use, manipulate, belittle, and break me down. I chose to leave after 6 years of marriage because I loved myself enough to realize I deserved better. Yet now that the divorce is final, I feel lost. Alone, depressed. I know I made the right choice, but it still hurts. Thank you for sharing this powerful video of your pain, and your ultimate healing.

@xxxpurposexxx: Remember that marriage is a choice. Divorce is a choice. Healing from divorce is also a choice. Healing is obstructed by bitterness, asking "why did this have to happen?", anger, regrets, fear, etc. The only way past those obstacles is Forgiveness, which is also a choice - one that must be made consciously - and *repeatedly* - for healing to progress. FORGIVE whether or not the other person deserves it. It isn't for the other person's sake anyhow, it's for yours. ~ Namaste

@xxxpurposexxx: P.S. I also believe you made the right choice by leaving him. Love is never the wrong answer -- and this includes loving yourself. And some people are better loved from a distance. ;-)

Warm Regards,

Mary

thanks for sharing this. The heartfelt words allow forgiveness in all forms of releasing and letting go those issues in life that we can hold onto ....regardless on the damage they are doing to our soul.

When I made the video, it was for my own catharsis. I am delighted that it touched someone else in need of healing too. Thank you for commenting. :)
