Feeling very sad tonight

[Janet]

Marilyn, your response was just beautiful. I think, at times, I know how you feel Angie. I'll keep you close in prayer.

I'm sorry that you have to feel that way Janet. I thank you and Michelle (and the others) for all of your prayers.

Oh Angie, I don't feel that way all the time and you won't either. I just meant I know how you feel. Pictures...a song...a story...sometimes will take us back, but that's only because we're remembering the good stuff in those memories and not the bad..... I hope you feel better soon.

I know you don't feel that way all the time. I just hate it that you do on occasion. You are such a sweet lady and I hate to think of anything making you sad or upset.

Remembering the good makes you sad that things have changed though...does that make sense? That's what I'm feeling, I guess.

Dear Angie,

You can't delete the feelings, even if you delete the pictures honey. I used to lead a group for divorced and separated women and our theme was "You can't get through it until you go though it." Sadly, this is the absolute truth. You're strong and good and you'll work it through in your own mind until you make peace with yourself.

In the meantime, I'm sending you prayers and lots of hugs,

Judy

So you don't think deleting those pictures will help? I thought maybe it would help me to not dwell on things that won't change. My thinking was that if I have nothing to remind me of it, then I won't think about it as much and won't feel as sad. I already got rid of all of the pictures in my house, just not the ones on my computer yet (or old emails, I'm really bad about reading those and making myself sad again).

Thank you for your advice, prayers, and hugs! I really appreciate it.

I would hate for you to throw away..delete...whatever, any kind of picture. Someday you will be ready to look at them again and you won't have them.

I understand. That's why I haven't gotten rid of them yet. It's just that at this point I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done to not feel this way anymore. Is it worth it to regret it later?

Girl girl girl, i am so sorry you are feeling down. I do agree with Judy's post, deleting pictures, and emails wont wipe out any memories. Angie, try to file those emails, and pictures in a hotmail file, or yahoo, or something, thats what i did years ago, as i had to go thru a similar experience, i made a little file, gave it a name, and closed it, till i was ready to open it, and look at it again. It helps not having to see it everytime you open your mailbox, yet comforting to know they there when you want to see them.

Hope you will feel better soon, and hugs to you!
