Hi there, firstly I just wanted to let you know you are not alone. You are not at fault, nothing! I hear your voice, what you are going through will only be temporary and I believe that you can get through this. I understand life is hard and people you trusted will turn their back on you, but don't let you turn your back on yourself. Pick yourself up and move forward. Take time out for yourself, surround yourself with your loved ones and do things you enjoy. This life you live is only for you, so many things is waiting for you to enjoy. One door closes, there is always another door opened for you. I'm here for you and so is others. Smile, because you are here.

I completely understand. I am here to help you make decisions that you think will better you. Experiencing loss is extremely tough to deal with but not impossible to overcome. It is often better to distract yourself throughout times like these. You are very strong for stepping out of your comfort zone and reaching for help. I can see that you are experiencing sadness and loss. This is a safe place to let go of any emotions because as mentioned previously, I am not here to judge but to listen and help. I am very sorry for your loss and send my deepest condolences.

We can never control the way life comes at us. Nothing will remain constant, and when we accept that fact, we will feel ease. You cannot control or reason with someone who has his heart set on leaving your life. You will grieve and feel the loss deeply, but even on the longest, darkest nights, the sun rises again. You can perceive it as him taking a piece of your heart, or you can perceive it as freeing up space in your heart for new love, new experiences, new happiness, self-care, adventure, knowledge. Accept the emotions you are feeling and let them flow, they will drown you on some days but remember you are a fish, let the emotions motivate you to move. When you are ready, follow the river, and let life bring you to change, allow positivity to flow through your life by constantly moving forwards.
