Remembering Pain

One of my friends was back in our ward today. He and his wife are getting a divorce and he will be moving back into his rental home. I have known since before Christmas when I ran into him at the store so I was glad to see him there today. I know how much life hurts at this stage of the game. It is so hard. I was so sad when I knew it was over and when Rachel was gone. I was depressed, overwhelmed and lonely. That was hard. Church was hard because I felt like a failure and that I didn't belong. Family was difficult because I felt like I was a huge disappointment. Those were not easy thoughts to push through and there were times when I thought it would be so much easier to stop attending church.  Ultimately, I pressed forward and pushed through and am so grateful that I never forgot. There is definitely so much to be grateful for.
