Hopeless
Yesterday my husband served me with divorce papers.
I’m meeting with a lawyer on Friday.
I don’t know how to get through this.

Oh Honey, I’m SO sorry…I wish I could tell you HOW to get through this. But that’s something that only you can figure out for yourself. (I think you already know that, though.)

I’m so sorry. I wish I could tell you how to get through this. But, as you probably already know, that’s something you will have to figure out for yourself. But, I do know that you are strong inside and that you can and will get through this. And we are with you, for whatever small comfort that might be. (This is my second attempt at posting a comment-sorry if I wind up double posting.)

(((Hugs))) You’ll get through. It’ll be hard but you will….

I have nothing to say, nothing at all that could possibly help. But IM me or call me or email me or something. I’ll listen. I’m a good listener.
If you don’t need that, know I’m thinking of you.

I’m sorry.

You know I’m here if you need anything. I love you, Karli.
Comment by Lauren — April 4, 2007 @ April 4, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Oh no, Karli!! I’m so sorry.
Comment by Skye — April 4, 2007 @ April 4, 2007 at 6:26 pm
Only have three bits of advice to give you, but I hope they help.
1. Remember that nothing is ever hopeless. As long as there is love and strength in your heart, there is a home for faith, and faith is the mother of hope.
2. Don’t panic. Don’t let your mind give in to fear or paralysis. Keep functioning.
3. Do not give up. Never surrender without a fight.

I’m so sorry Karli.

I am so very sorry. I have been a reader and lurker on your site for some time and I have admired your candidness and the beauty of your words. You seem to have pulled yourself through so much that I know you will find it in you to navigate this. I have been through the pain of a failed marriage myself, and all I can say is that there is life afterward. In fact, the best of my life came afterward…

Hey Karli, we just met (book group) but my initial reaction is that you are a really great person. Hope to get to know you more. Hang in there. Thinking of you…
Comment by Jill — April 4, 2007 @ April 4, 2007 at 8:18 pm
I’m sorry you are going through this. I will keep you and your children in my prayers.
If I’ve learned anything from reading your blog, it’s that you are a very strong person. I know you can get through this. I love you Karli, and I know you will be ok.
Comment by Julie — April 4, 2007 @ April 4, 2007 at 8:20 pm
You are strong. You will get through it. I know you will. Whatever you need, I’m here.
Comment by Stefania/CityMama — April 4, 2007 @ April 4, 2007 at 11:14 pm
I’m so, so sorry. There’s nothing I can say to make it all better, but I wish there was. And if there were, I would. Praying for you.

I want to say some cliched but true thing; like when one door closes another one opens, but I know that probably doesn’t feel helpful right now. Karli, I’ve been reading your site for a long time, since before I even blogged myself, and from what I know of you- you are an incredibly strong and resilient woman who has already overcome a whole lot of stuff in her young life. Remember that. And remember each and every success you’ve ever had in your life and know that that energy is in you- always, even when you’re struggling.
I don’t know how you will get through this either, but I know you will- because the only way out is through.
Hugs.

I had a feeling. I’m so sorry Karli. Girl you’re going to make it and I’m praying for you even harder now than ever. Please let me know if I can do anything for you. E-mail me any time, k? God Bless you girl, and your little ones.

That is a shock. I am so sorry. I don’t know what to say.
Comment by Marc André — April 5, 2007 @ April 5, 2007 at 5:02 am
I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. My prayers are with you through this trying time and that you not give up hope.
Comment by Jaynee — April 5, 2007 @ April 5, 2007 at 5:49 am
I’m here for you girl. You know that. We’ve helped eachother through the worst so far… don’t hesitate to lean on me!
Comment by Sara — April 5, 2007 @ April 5, 2007 at 8:03 am
oh gosh. so sorry to hear that. you are such a strong and amazing woman, i know you’ll make it through.
Comment by leelee — April 5, 2007 @ April 5, 2007 at 9:09 am
I’m de-lurking here to say I’m so sorry. I don’t know what else to say….xx
Comment by Karen (Miscellaneous Mum) — April 5, 2007 @ April 5, 2007 at 2:10 pm
So very, very sorry to hear this. But you are a strong woman, and will continue to go on. You will wake every morning and get through each day, for your children, for yourself. You can do it. If the strength of your words here is even a fraction of the strength of your spirit, you will get through. Best of luck to you.

I know that we don’t actually know each other very well, I don’t always leave comments… But I constantly find inspiration in your words, and I want to tell you I am so sorry to hear this is happening.
It sounds silly I know, but I wish I lived near you so I could take your kids for the day, or bring you lunch and a movie to watch.
Our lives (from what I have read here) are ridiculously similar, on SO many levels… so even though we are not friends really, I feel for you. And, if you would ever like someone to talk to I can usually be found pretty near my computer.
Sending you light and love.

Comment by Heather — April 5, 2007 @ April 5, 2007 at 7:56 pm
oh girl i am so very sorry. i’ve been there so although i don’t know your exact feelings i have shared this struggle. i know there are days when the pain is impossible to live with. i know how you can feel broken. please know you are in my thoughts…and please know that although you can’t see how you’ll get through this you will. i did… you may crawl through it on your hands and knees, you may feel bloody, bruised, and beyond healing but i promise you it is possible.

Karli I am so, so sorry.
Comment by Paige — April 6, 2007 @ April 6, 2007 at 11:30 am
Oh, I’m so sorry. Take care of yourself, and try to find as much joy as you can in the little things, especially your girls.
Comment by Stephanie — April 6, 2007 @ April 6, 2007 at 12:08 pm
You’ll get through this with all of us behind you. Talk to us, lean on us, whatever you need to do. I wish you all the love and strength there is. x
Comment by Antonia — April 6, 2007 @ April 6, 2007 at 12:43 pm
I don’t know if I have ever commented on your blog before…I just wanted to say that I am so sorry! I can’t imagine what you must be feeling right now. Even though we don’t know each other, please know that I am praying for you.
Comment by Andi — April 6, 2007 @ April 6, 2007 at 7:43 pm
It sounds weird, but I think there are a lot of us who feel we know each other though it’s only through blogs. Remember that we are here to lean on, just in a different way than real-life friends; not the same kind of comfort, but there may be times that knowing we are here is just what you need. Don’t forget to lean on us when you feel that way.

I’m a long time reader, and your writing has meant so much to me over the years. I am so sorry that this has happened to you — it’s devestating, and you must be hurting so much. You can do it…you are strong and capable, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. I’m rooting for you.
Comment by Cathy — April 8, 2007 @ April 8, 2007 at 5:40 pm
I’m quite a lurker on your site, but wanted to let you know that my head and heart hurt for you right now.
I’m so sorry.
It’s really, really tough when hope seems to have walked away from us.
Comment by Kelli — April 9, 2007 @ April 9, 2007 at 8:42 am
I have my fingers crossed, that the strength that has served you in the past will be present for you in this struggle.
