@Evie1  Sometimes , tears are the only words our pain has. I know it’s hard and exhausting. Just letting you know I really understand. 💞💞💞

Yup, I definitely feel you. A year after marriage break down and I still get like this once or twice a week. It is scary wondering when things will get better but people keep saying it will with time. It feels like the grief is changing and getting worse the more time goes on.

@Evie1& @Former-Member  I can relate to breakdowns where the tears will not stop. When you feel like they are coming from your whole body not just your eyes. I don't know if either of you have the support of a good therapist but I've found having someone to talk with to be invaluable at times like this. When my constant tears have become so bad I have gone into hospital for awhile and this has allowed me the time I've needed to only be responsible for myself, to cry whenever I needed, to be supported and to heal. A hospital stay isn't for everyone I know but I hope that you both find ways that work for you to start healing.
