I was hoping to get some responses to the you pick my next blog post however you are all being very quiet and keeping to yourself so I had to come up with one on my own.  While watching an episode of House tonight I was inspired.  The woman he was trying to diagnose had a blog and she was dying and wanted to rely on the comments on her blog to make her medical decisions.  Her spouse was trying to  make her see her obsession with the internet and was telling her his views of why she had the blog in the first place.  His line was “whoever you are or whatever you love,  you can connect with someone”.

That line reminded me of WHY I have this blog.  Yes it’s a good tool for venting out my frustrations about what I went through but it is so much more than that.  I want to connect with other’s who are suffering as I am from ANY loss.  I want to share my experience in the hopes that I will be able to help another person cope with the difficulties they are facing.

All life changing events are hard especially those that you have not planned for.  My divorce was something I never dreamed would have happened but because of what I went through I am now able to connect with other’s facing a major life change.   God give’s you lemons you make lemonade, and that is what I am trying to do.

It’s been only a year and three months since my divorce was final and I know I am nowhere near being a completely healed person and I”m not afraid to admit that.  What I do know is that no matter how hard that life transition was or how badly I did not want to see it happen, it did and it has forever changed me.  Most importantly it has connected me with you.

I hope what ever life change you are facing you can see the positive and know that whoever you are or whatever you love, you can connect with someone.
