Dear Divorcing Cindy,<\/p>\n
You are heartbroken right now<\/p>\n
Lost, alone, aching<\/p>\n
Contemplating your whole future<\/p>\n
Wallowing in every mistake<\/p>\n
every missed piece of evidence<\/p>\n
Every lie he told has become your darkness<\/p>\n
It isn’t. that’s him not you<\/p>\n
I know this hurts<\/p>\n
Your core is shaken<\/p>\n
All you believed before<\/p>\n
Doesn’t apply now.<\/p>\n
Your humanity is lost<\/p>\n
But you will survive this<\/p>\n
Better, you will be stronger<\/p>\n
You will be able to love and be loved<\/p>\n
So many lovely things in store for you<\/p>\n
He won’t be back, I know you want him to be<\/p>\n
But you will see that’s best<\/p>\n
You will find greater love<\/p>\n
Love that doesn’t lie or steal<\/p>\n
Love you don’t have to fight for<\/p>\n
Love that washes over you when you look in his eyes<\/p>\n
There will be better times<\/p>\n
Better places<\/p>\n
This time will end up meaning so much<\/p>\n
Because your growth is enormous<\/p>\n
You will find strength from despair<\/p>\n
Happiness from your weaknesses<\/p>\n
You will see the world<\/p>\n
In a whole new light<\/p>\n
Don’t give up<\/p>\n
Don’t give in to the despair<\/p>\n
Hold your head high<\/p>\n
And walk away proud<\/p>\n
