Dear Friend,

There is no greater emotional pain that can be inflicted on someone than the announcement by your partner that they want a divorce.

Even if both of you have "seen it coming" for some time, and the idea of it comes as no big surprise, the actual words still hit like a bomb exploding in head.  It's really over . . . .

When it's "out-in-the-open" that the person you held hands with so many years ago, and promised to love - honor - and obey - to be supportive of, to stand beside in good times and bad -through sickness and health - for richer or poorer - no longer wants you or your love.  You have been rejected, and it's just about the most damaging thing you'll ever face in your lifetime.
