Friends try to help

"My husband is cheating on me and I will be leaving home on friday," Mich sounded devastated in her email. "I have tolerated him for so long in the marriage."

A broken heart causes excruciating pain. Friends and loved ones can help soothe the pain. When they are there, laughing, loving and caring, the pain eases, and there is temporary relief. But night falls, and with it comes the terror of agony. Pain is always worse at night. Loneliness comes in when the sun disappears. The hurting explodes when one is all alone.

Part of the pain a broken heart must suffer is the thought that the offender, the heartbreaker, is going to get away with it all. The heart says, "I am the one hurt and wounded; yet I'm the one who pays the price."

Here's my 2-cents' worth my friend: "Stop trying to figure out what you did wrong and why you got hurt.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. ~ Anais Nin ~
