“OK… what would I put in a divorce kit… lord I could have used one… but I had a very supportive family and circle of friends that put up with a lot of my crap and saw me through it. Back to the kit…. candles, light classical cd, bath crystals, and one book that I used which was a big help……Getting Up, Getting Over, Getting On: A Twelve Step Guide to Divorce Recovery (Paperback) by Micki McWadehttp://www.championpress.com/grief/gettingupgettingover.htm”

Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain.

No no, I know exactly what you mean. I do have a heart and real empathy for the tenderness of the wounded, having been there myself. It takes time, but more than that, LOVE. Love is magic.

First comment on this video in 8 months! LOL I just wanted to say thanks so much, Dianne, you’re wonderful and this was so helpful to me. I just want to thank you for caring, for being a caring person and a friend. I have sad moments, but I’m looking ahead and being positive and overall, I’m very happy. At least the pain is fading.

Oh my Gorgeous Dianne,
Thank you, so much for your tenderness and compassion for others. And for sharing so unabashedly with your sweet emotions. Today you have, touched me, and as the song goes,” I guess it’s something I can’t explain, why this little crystal of rain, falls, from my eye, this little drop of water called a Tear. And so I feel of your sincerity and I too a shed a drop of rain.
YSA, Mike
