picking up the pieces


i've been gone for awhile and must say that i am happy to be taking the steps back into this part of my life.  every day people become a victim to life changing events...unfortunately for me that day happened last week.  i didn't see it coming, i didn't get many answers to my questions and very quickly my world was shattered.  my heart was broken.

i remind myself that one day i will look back at this time in my life only to realize i have become a stronger person for getting through it.  each day i work on picking up the pieces.  soon i will be whole again and the moment when i can love with all of my heart will be a very beautiful day.

i find comfort in knowing that i have the support of my friends and family...they remind me every day how vibrant i am and that wonderful things are waiting to fill my future.  i can hardly wait.

i sit here today feeling fortunate to have gotten answers to many of my questions...with this i know i will be able to move forward and become the best person i can be...for myself and for all of those around me.  in time i hope to be able to share more about my experience...i hope to be able to help others that have suffered from a broken marriage or relationship.  maybe we can all help each other...maybe, we can all pick up the pieces together.  xo lindsay

  3. Sweetheart, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've been through it constantly, and I'm scared to think that it'll happen again in my relationship I'm in now. But you are right, this is a learning experience and you will take what you learn from every broken heart to build yourself up again.

    I'm always here if you want to email me or talk!! Keep your chin up and take each day as it comes.

  5. Oh Lindsay, tomorrow on our marriage series we are writing about LOVING THROUGH and let me tell ya, I don't know if I'll hold back, it's going to be about darkness in marriages and the brink of divorce, and all the awful unexpected things that can go wrong in a marriage that actually DO.
    I have been in nightmare for about 6 years, so I feeeeeeeeeeeeel for you,
    and I'm thinking of you!! Glad to see you back, I missed you!
    You are right, all we can know is one thing, YOU WILL grow and have an amazing character even more for going through this...you will learn and find perspectives that you never thought were possible.

  10. So sorry to hear about this, Lindsey. I feel like no one can ever say the "right" thing when we feel like our lives have shattered, but know that God holds you close to His heart and that you are loved by many.

  11. I'm very sorry you are going through this, but I know you are a very creative and strong person and even though it is a hard moment, you will get over all the bad things and feelings soon, and you will find yourself as a new person, with more knowledge and experiences that will guide you to an incredible amount of opportunities and happy memories.

    I wish you the best, I truly do.

    You rock and you are gorgeous! Do not forget it :3

  13. I know what its like to have your entire world flipped upside down. I almost didn't get to have a wedding last fall due to some outstanding circumstance but we made it through. I remember during that time I was inconsolable. nothing made me feel better. I felt lost and confused and just down right broken. what eventually brought me around was my puppy, my creative desire and my bestie who listened to me cry and vent and scream sometimes all at once. So know that even thought we don't know you personally we know what you are going through and right now it seems like the world is over but things will look up from here and your online friends are here for you too!
    Stay strong and stay true!
    lots of love to you!

  31. Lindsay, I really hope you are not going through what I think you are :( I hate it for you. HATE it. I am thinking and praying for you and I hope everything works out just as it should. You are amazing and beautiful and strong and I know no matter what you are going to come out of this unhappy season of life and shine brighter for it.

  32. I think I may have been through something similar, so, I understand your feelings, but want you to know that you do come out on the other side stronger in time...not that it won't hurt at times or things won't remind you of things, some times worse than others, but I promise it really does build character and the fact that you have great friends and family surrounding you, as I did and do, you will just fine! :) Thinking of you and sending a few extra smiles your way! Sharing your thoughts with us means a lot, and I know for me, writing about things helped...slowly, and in time! xoxo

  33. Lindsey, I'm so sorry to hear this. But I'm so glad to see that you're already putting on your strong face and take it head on - it's certainly tough, but I know you'll be okay in the end. This is one of those life moments where you look back and say, "I really learned something valuable". Chin up, girl.
