To broken heart re healing

Am glad if my words help even a little. I know exactly what you are feeling - like being shredded, the scraps of your being thrown to the winds and scrambling to find all the pieces. Like drifting through life as a ghost, life exploding all around you but you aren't part of it any longer. Like being dead. If there's any good in this, it's having learned to smell falseness from miles away, and to appreciate what's true and enduring. But paranoia about people's motives has made me unable to take advantage of these potential benefits and i am now too quick to cancel a friendship at the first offence.

How to get through it ? I simply remember that nature has certain inviolable laws, one being age difference. Keeps me from wallowing. Or i recall the often-used word "kader" , meaning fate. There's some small comfort in knowing it's out of your hands - you can't control the river's path. Keep your eyes and mind open to new joys and they will come.
