It's hard but it really does let others know they are not alone. I try to do the same on my blog.

My date is August 22. I got divorced almost two years ago, and although I'm happy now with a new boyfriend and new life, I struggle with what-ifs (what if I tried harder?) and getting over a life that could have been and wasn't.<br /><br />Recently, a friend of mine got an annulment from the church, and I thought about doing that too but then realized it meant saying the marriage never happened. And, that was a lie. It did happen - for good and for bad - and it made me who I am. I can't regret it because it's part of me.Jillian Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290311997282538518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-27874189731786954282010-05-21T20:06:26.962-05:002010-05-21T20:06:26.962-05:00I wasn't married before, but sometimes I think...I wasn't married before, but sometimes I think back to the years I spent with my ex and the thought to think of them as 'wasted' pops into my mind but then I realize that without having spent those years with him I wouldn't be where I am today, where I'm married and happy and the mom of 2 awesome little boys.<br /><br />Life is a journey and everything that happens helps to make you the person you are. Don't feel like you failed, it was just a bumpy part on the trip :)<br /><br />Since Angela's comment is above mine it's making me think about my dad who's gone too. I don't even remember the date he died. To me it's sad to remember that day out of all the days I had with him, I'd rather remember his life and the positive. I don't even remember the year exactly, I think about the light he brought into our lives instead of the darkness we all felt the day he was gone.<br /><br />You're brave for sharing, as you can see we all appreciate it.tarahttp://www.sewtara.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-87999508761279045662010-05-18T22:53:31.583-05:002010-05-18T22:53:31.583-05:00That was beautiful, as hard as it is for you to ta...That was beautiful, as hard as it is for you to talk about this. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes when we share the regrets, the ugly pasts, and the shame, there is a beauty that reveals itself, and healing can come from that.<br />The day that I'd rather forget is August 10th - when my dad was killed. I don't want to forget my dad at all, but it can still be hard. As the years go on, it gets easier to live through that day. Healing takes time.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212093302251827169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-60649103963767114902010-05-18T19:58:28.457-05:002010-05-18T19:58:28.457-05:00My day is April 25.

Someday it will pass and won't even cross your mind, on this date. :) Hugs to you!<br /><br />And I'm so happy you're real and you post things like this up for all to connect with - it's so confusing when bloggers leave this big chunk of their lives out of their personal blogs, though I can understand it is painful & hard to share - I often feel like if they don't type about big life-changing things like this that must be affecting them on a daily basis that they might not be being honest in a lot of other stuff they share, too - so, thank you, Miss LA, for being real. You're so lovely. :)Michelle Clementhttp://www.michelleclement.typepad.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-1938190161531269842010-05-18T10:41:37.634-05:002010-05-18T10:41:37.634-05:00It's been five years since my divorce and Apri...It's been five years since my divorce and April 5th will always be my "May 17." <br /><br />I stumbled on your blog from Elsie's a couple weeks ago and you've been an inspiration already.

He said it was him and not me....I think the woman he moved in with 3 weeks later last september had something to do with it. <br />Alas, May 5th came and I was so sad,angry and feeling full of failure. But My kids, ages 4 and 7, reminded me that I am a wonderful person and a strong woman. <br />I can't say it will pass because I don't know if I will ever forget May 5th (2001). I have a wonderful new man in my life that I adore, but May 5th reminds me of something I had dreamed of and failed at. <br />Take comfort in that we are not alone.....and we can craft a mean streak!!!!!<br /><br />HUGS<br />MicheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-16688619598287183322010-05-17T17:24:04.592-05:002010-05-17T17:24:04.592-05:00Right there with ya', girlfriend.

My 'date' is October 8th and it is definately a reminder of what seems like failure and loss, but lately I have been really trying to focus on thinking of the whole situation as a new beginning (which is hard). It is tough for sure. I know one day the day won't even be a thought in my mind. Can't wait for that day :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911661083230780099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-42116026214614396402010-05-17T13:27:28.627-05:002010-05-17T13:27:28.627-05:00Thanks for sharing.

It isn't like our lives are happy now being different than what they could have been. That is the same way I feel about May 31st. It would have been 8 years this year, but we got a divorce only after 10 months of marriage. I wonder all the time where my life would be if things worked out. But I am extremely happy where I am at now. Cause I might not have met you :) I think on that day I will post something too. I think we all need a listening ear and a open heart. *big hug*Kim J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10841362612834335999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-43149488213834405992010-05-17T11:40:14.171-05:002010-05-17T11:40:14.171-05:00I wasn't married before, but tragedy struck my...I wasn't married before, but tragedy struck my boyfriend and I last summer and I know that when the date comes around this year it will stir up painful feelings.
