Grief is hard because you just have to sit with it and wait. It lessens over time, but not as fast as we would like, in my experience.

It's good to have support during the waiting. Lean on those friends. They want to lessen your pain, of vourse, but can also help by just being there.

I think it REALLY helped me when I realized my sexuality was not something that was part of the mainstream discussion/culture.

I mean, as a 5'11" cis male with muscles and tattoos, being able to recognize and ask for what I needed was a real stretch for me initially.

Yep. My parents, despite being a couple of severely repressed Southerners, overcame their upbringing and laid it out straight, answered questions, and didn't convey any shame about sex or masturbation.

Therapy! So. Much. Therapy.

And also, remembering that it would eventually be over. It was temporary, not forever.

Is it that the divorce is hostile or is it the pain of loss/grieving the end of the marriage?

Please let your friends and loved ones give you support. Don't try to weather it alone!

Epic choice!

I started freezing some ginger, then grating it with a microplane to get an extra gingery kick. It has worked pretty well.

Good luck!

Molasses cookies? Perennial Xmas favorite at our house!

The movie is so, so bad.

Just ordered a copy! Looks great.
