Thanks. The reality is even better than my account. I was very devastated and yet, within a year I was on top of the world and remain there for the next two decades. I am almost reluctant to describe it sometimes as I have friends that have gone through divorce without the blessing I have received. In utter desolation I prayed to the Lord to help me, and wow, was my faith confirmed.
This is the kind of thing that Scythian needs to hear: that one can go through something like this with equanimity, despite the pain and difficulty; and that there are many possibilities for great happiness on the other side.
