[ellis4538]

dj, I too have been in your place a loooong time ago!  You have been added to my prayer list.  Wish I had had this support back then!

Daniel
I want to stress something. This board is like a family. (more the Corleones than the Bradys, but still....). When folks offer their PM, as I am, they mean it. Its often a lot easier to talk to an anonymous stranger over the net than a friend or family member who's wrapped up in it. You want to vent with sympathetic folks who will give you honest advice and who you won't run into at work tomorrow? This is the place. PM one of us.

 Good Grief, I actually agree with FQ twice in the same day ? Maybe I should see a Doctor.

I haven't been in your position, Daniel, but what these other folks have said sounds like pretty good advice.

What I can offer is sincere prayers for you to get through this (and I know you will) and an open PM box.

DJ, or Daniel, we share a common bond, we both have Our 1st names on the forum, there are a few others, but that makes us bonded.

The 1st thing is Loss, an empty place that something or someone use to take up in our minds, and daily routines, and it is real, what needs to happen now is to replace it, not easy at all, but it can and will happen if you let it and go through the motions of normal life long enough.

God is one example, a new woman is another, hard work can help, but you need something that mimics what you lost, or has as much importance in YOUR mind.

An empty place in your heart is hard to fill, I know, My mother passed early at 60, and I'm not over it yet, and that is 9 yrs ago.

My wife nearly died, and after recovery is not near the woman I had, but we move on, and ACCEPT,  what happened, she is still here but not the same person, thank God, she survived, but We as a couple, are not the same. That was 4 yrs ago.

Long story short, Accept it, refill it, and move on.

God bless and as others here have told you, Don't replace with alcohol or drugs, that is easy and that is what I did, it don't work in the long run.

I do feel your pain, and don't hesitate to PM  any of us.

Best to you my friend.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. Don't worry about the drugs or alcohol I don't indulge never have. Just reading the comments and knowing someone is praying helps more than you know. Funny how it works out I posted this and ended up making a new friend close to were I live. We clicked right away and we are going to meet in person today for the first time. She said the same thing I was feeling that she needed an unbiased friend to talk to. I don't know where it will lead but we have become friends quite quickly. We both make each other laugh. Might be the start of a beautiful friendship. Thanks guys I am feeling good at the moment but I know I have some hard times to come. So thanks for the continued support.

I feel for you,....heck I feel for all of you who have had to deal with this. 

Prayer is a powerful tool to petition an Almighty God on our behalf.

Daniel, you just keep your head up, and know that you are not alone. Find a way to see the end of the tunnel, not the dark tunnel itself.

You will get through this.

I went through the exact thing you are dealing with, but went even farther into a dark place, I isolated myself, was mad at the world, and got involved in a self destructive pattern it took my son to snap me out of.

"And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he
received them, and spoke unto them of the kingdom of God, and
healed them that had need of healing."
LUKE 9:11

With a verse as poignant as 9:11, in regards to healing, please contact any of us here at DRTV, at anytime.  I hope and pray things get better for you soon.

I've felt your pain, Daniel.  It helped then to remember what my dad once told me during a time of stress: "This, too shall pass."  It did.  Be strong, friend.
