There is no easy way to say this, or to sugar coat it, so I’m just gonna blurt it out.
I am getting divorced.
There. I said it.
The process has been started and I am now starting the process of sorting and packing my stuff, since I will not continue living in Illinois once this is all said and done.
I will be de-stashing fabric on Etsy. I’ll let you know once I get that going!
I would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
Everything is amicable and I want to state for the record that I do not hate my soon-to-be ex-husband and have no desire to “bash” him. What’s happening is just the way it is and he is no more to blame for it than I am.
Needless to say my crafting will be curtailed for quite a while. I hope to be able to do some sewing but so far I honestly haven’t had any desire to do anything.
I do plan to keep blogging, if I have anything to blog about. But my posts may be few for a while.
Hugs to all!
Jennie
sorry to hear that, best of luck during this difficult time!!
ReplyDeleteJennie, my thoughts and prayers are certainly with you, my blogging friend! I have three sisters and two brothers (!) that have gone through divorces and so I know a little about what you're going through but don't pretend to know all. It sounds like you have a good attitude about it which will serve you well. (Not meaning to be preachy) I hope you find a wonderful place to settle with a perfect spot for your crafting and enjoymentv when you get there and are ready! Be blessed and bless! xo Jodi
ReplyDeleteOh, lots of prayers for you as these hard things start. Your creative energy will be missed here in Chicago. I hope you're getting to go back to that beautiful NY area.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you. This is, I am sure, a difficult time for you and I wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone,my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how hard it is, and how hard it's gonna be, but we are survivers.
ReplyDeleteBless you as you walk through this.....and you will get "through" not stuck somewhere half way.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that fabric as you sort it...and do not be too much in a rush to get rid of things if it can be avoided.
Hugs.I'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry to hear of your breakup and the difficult time you are going through with all the changes... I will be praying and thinking of you too and I hope you will manage to keep on with a little sewing. After all, sewing is what keeps a lot of us sane! Whenever one door closes, another door opens and I hope you get through this dark period soon and find the new door has wonderful possibilites! All the best xoxo

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Jennie. Divorce is so hard even when it is a mutual decision. I have been through it and wouldn't wish it on anyone. I will pray for you.

ReplyDeleteI wish you strength in the coming months - this has got to be the hardest thing you've had to deal with. Sending a big cyber hug to you and hoping that you know you can always "talk" to us crazy quilters. Take care!
ReplyDeleteHugs Jennie. During hard times I try to do one really nice thing for myself every day, even if it's as simple taking an hour to go read a good book or eat some chocolate without guilt.
ReplyDeleteJennie, I am a follower who looks at pretty pictures more than she comments. None-the-less, I wanted to let you know I am thinking of you. Stay strong!!
ReplyDeleteI have been in your shoes and am now remarried. Just remember that this pain is temporary and that there is hope and love in the future if you leave your heart open.
ReplyDeleteGood luck packing and getting settled wherever you land.
Thinking of you! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteOkay, so here's the thing. I have been through a divorce and while I am sure we each have unique circumstances, I think there is also something shared and therefore, I'm going to give you the only words of wisdom I can.
ReplyDeleteHonor your feelings. No matter what. Experience them, the good, the bad, the happy, any not so happy, etc. It's all normal and part of this kind of major change and you will come through it all stronger.
Be true to yourself and I hope you find what your heart desires. (((HUGS))
