Relief (re: finality)
Regret (re: union)
Happiness (re: new chapter)
Sadness (re: failure)
Hmmm? There are a lot of emotions swirling around.
When I saw the envelope in my mailbox I knew what it contained. So I wasn't surprised when I read the cover letter, which consisted of two sentences: "Enclosed is a copy of your final Judgment and Decree of Divorce and Income Deduction Order. ..."
Then the wording of the judgement: "... as if no such contract had ever been made or entered into... considered as separate and distinct... unconnected..." Interesting.I don't know about anyone else, but I think regardless of the circumstances surrounding the dissolution of a marriage there will always be feelings, thoughts, emotions surrounding the finality of it. It's quite a surreal, freeing feeling that causes anxiety and excitement.
Should I celebrate? Cry? Shout? Party? Take a nap? LOL... Well, right now I think I'll just have a third cup of coffee. I deserve it. After eight years, two and a half of those spent separated, I am no longer married.
It's official.
7 folks a chattin':
(((hugs))) You have every right to feel any way you want about it. It is an emotional ordeal, no matter what ended your marriage. Keep your chin up and know that I am thinking and praying for you.
yes, there are many different emotions that you go through with this, and yes they are all valid! you can cry and shout and scream, get it out of your system. then my friend, pour yourself your favorite drink and celebrate your new beginning, your new journey. let the adventure begin...
much love to you...hugz!
Wow. Life really is such a roller coaster of emotions. You'll probably experience the whole gamut of them for quite a while. Blessings to you as you enter 2010. I hope it turns out to be an amazingly positive year for you.
I think the finality of anything is always a time of introspection. What happened? What went wrong? How did we get there? How did it begin? What did I learn from this?
Well, at least it is over. Some of the games can end now and you can move forward.
New life beginning, Petula. Get ready. :)
I'm sure your emotions are mixed...I hope you feel better soon!
I say, let your self feel whatever you are feeling at the moment. Allow yourself to go with the flow emotionally, it's all apart of your healing and growth.

i imagine when a person, man or woman, has spent a great deal of their life with a person, it can and will always be something that stays within your soul. whether the outcome was good or bad, amicable or difficult. so i can understand how your emotions are mixed right about now.
well, look at this way. it gives closure.
