Broken

I am so broken. How could he leave me? All I have ever tried to do was build a jewish home and be a good wife and mother. How could he walk away from that? I feel like someone has reached into my chest and pulled out my heart. I never knew there could be such physical pain from an emotional hurt. My children are going to be from a broken home now. My heart is broken into a million pieces. I feel like I will never be whole again.

I don't know what to say. I'm sorry. You and the kids will be ok, really, you will....but right now, it's really, really suck and there really isn't anything to say to make that better. :(

I'm so sorry. I wish I could help and make the pain go away.

Your children will be from YOUR home. It isn't "broken" it is different than what you thought it was going to be. They will be raised with love and all the Jewish values you treasure--and some you don't.

You can get through this. You will get through this.

http://www.ritualwell.org/lifecycles/adultpassages/sitefolder.2005-06-01.7092263776/10seperation-divorce.xml has this and a few other Jewish rituals acknowledging the separation. That might help.

You will be in my thoughts.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do.
