I’m With You
Hey Maturation. I read the string on single christian and the missing companionship aspect. My husband left 4 months ago, and there is such loneliness, missing the physical and emotional intimacy we had (or believed we had). I literally had to tell myself "no", I won't cross that line; and I will do and preoccupy my mind with the things I don't feel like doing like being involved with my small group, taking care of business (clean/laundry/groceries/cooking), neutral and positive distractions such as movies, reading inspirational and fiction, exercising, finding fun activities (ie. free museum nights, mommies play dates, lectures, knitting groups, etc). Hang in there, and just take it one day at a time. I do.
Hug

Close Breakups & Divorce
I am divorced,we have three beautiful children.I went through periods of grief, loss, self awareness, therapy and healing. Now I find myself lonely.I do things I enjoy but I do them alone. I have not had much luck making new friends. There have been guys that hit on me and I have been on a few dates but YUCK is the only word I can think of to describe the experiences. Not that the guys were not attractive or intelligent,just they were moving to fast for me.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- I first asked God to forgive me, then my husband and I forgave myself for my part in the break down of marriage.Then I forgave my husband and is still forgiving him for the things he continue to do. Forgiveness take conscious effort and I found that i could not do it alone it was definately through prayer a strong desire to forgive that I was able to be successful at it. But it was so worth it. It is like a huge weight lifted and I no longer have to carry hurt,anger or resentment with me daily.
- Love Working / Worked
- Again, not through my own strength but by prayer and a strong desire to move forward in peace I am able to show unconditional love.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Yes, music is soothing especially if you find an artist or song that is applicable to your situation or how you are feeling.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- You have to find a good match.
- Reading Working / Worked
- I have read several helpful books that let me know I was not alone in this that others have been where I am. The most enlightening one for me was Spriirtual Divorce. I can not think of the author now
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- Not working for me because I have not had that form of support I would think that it would work if one had family and /or friends and they were supportive.
- Support Groups Somewhat Helpful
- I joined a Christian based divorce support group that met weekly, but I did not receive the support i was looking for.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Yes, definately. Nothing like a good vent even if it's just in your journal but to release that energy feels good.
- Time Somewhat Helpful
- Does time heal all things? I don't know only time will tell. But I can be doing well for a while and something remind me of something or I miss the companionship or he says something to get under my skin and I feel as if I move backwards sometimes in the healing process.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I enjoy exercising anyway but it definately helps me feel better.
Close Single Parenting
My divorce will be final this month but we have been seperated 2 1/2 years and have an 8,5,& 2 yr old. I am working, completing an internship and going to school.
