That it is not always my fault that my life is not succesful; that all I can do is be truthful and accepting. I'm trying to find dignity in a flawed life.Elsewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205062128898300234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-31276868828640540692015-01-07T10:19:39.664-05:002015-01-07T10:19:39.664-05:00Thank you Oriah!

I recently ended a relationship with a man, and I too knew it was the right time to end it. I am sad at the loss of him and what I thought it was, BUT I know I made the right decision. I too pray for him that he may find his happiness and I know that I will find my happiness when I am ready. I admire you for doing what is right for you, makes it all worthwhile even if there is pain that comes with it.

I am so glad you are practicing good self-care in this difficult time.

The description I gave is all I want to share- in part because more would muddy the issue/topic which is not about what behaviour is acceptable and what is not, but about what we do when we simply do not have the energy to re-establish close contact. Thanks for the question- it clarifies in my mind what this is about.

I don't know how you do it but you speak to my heart.<br /><br />This has been a hard time for me, since my husband died suddenly 10 months ago.<br /><br />One friend in particular, the story became so confused and painful, and I didn't understand until I read your words.<br /><br />'I simply did not have the energy for what was happening between us, or would have to happen- need to be talked about, sorted out, resolved, agreed to- for the friendship to continue in a real and authentic way,<br /><br />This is what I was feeling and this is why I let go.<br /><br />This grief is like a chronic illness, but it has also taught me what belongs to me and what doesn't.<br /><br />And where the energy wants to go, and where it has died.<br /><br />Your words touch such beauty and truth and also bring an equanimity to me.<br /><br />Thank you for helping me walk with my head up a big higher, my heart a bit lighter and give dignity to us all.<br /><br />alicelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836704817578442129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-57304656361167391082015-01-06T23:38:57.484-05:002015-01-06T23:38:57.484-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.typingpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09382044437523114331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-84484867559816885212015-01-06T23:38:26.811-05:002015-01-06T23:38:26.811-05:00What was the behavior?
