Lending a supportive hand and a shoulder to cry onfor a friend whose marriage ended recently.
Wondering about how feelings and relationships change;
how people who were one day the closest to your heart
become unrecognizable strangers almost overnight.
(How DOES that happen?)
Treasuring the loves in my life
Thankful for the joy and fulfillment they bring to my life.
(What would I ever do without them?)

Beautiful flowers, glad you could be there for your friend. Keep your loved ones close that is what I think. Take care for now.
So sad, isn't it...your flowers and words are truly something to think about.
I don't understand how or why it happens either. Seems impossible to me. Things change, true, but that much? I don't get it. Sometimes I wish I could learn how to turn that love switch off - it would make things easier. I am so sorry that your friend is in pain and glad you are there. My friends and family pulled me through those early days. Literally.
I often wonder about that, too. Where does all the intimacy go? People's characters go through changes alright, but so much so that all the bonds break?!
Hope your friend feels better soon.
A very lovely, thoughtful post...Thinking of your friend as a tough time is faced. Love is a gift, but we must tend it carefully. :o) Happy belated birthday wishes...Looks like you had a beautiful day! ((HUGS))
no idea how it happens but it happened to me. i wondered when he took his eye off the prize that we were.
friends during that time are a treasure - glad you could be there for your friend.
Life is so frightening sometimes....It can change in an instance! I'm sure you are so appreciated by your friend!
It happened to me. It was one of the saddest experiences of my life. Sometimes only one continues to grow. Sometimes we choose different paths. When neither changes or when both change along compatible (if not the same) paths, things work out better. I am sorry for your friend's pain. She is lucky to have you with her now.
Relationships are very hard---and they take constant work. Too many times, couples forget about each other while doing all of the other things in life. They tend to start going opposite directions. Been there--done that...
My first marriage ended in divorce in 1982. We just drifted apart --and he found someone new. VERY hard for me at first --because we had three wonderful sons.
BUT--my life is TREMENDOUS now--and I truly know what real love it (for the first time).
Hugs,
Betsy
I guess if we knew how it happens, it probably wouldn't happen. I wish I did know. I wish I knew why feelings change and shift ever so slightly until you don't feel them any longer.

i am sure you were a real comfort ...it is sad when people break up. it is tramatic for all involved
How sad, but it's good that your friend has you to turn to.
