a friend

i have a friend who is really hurting.  who has separated.  who has her husband posting everything on social media.  and is getting sympathy.  and she is suffering.  alone.  and she noted how this happened to someone else that we know.  and she was feeling so sad.  and i said, "i get it."  and she said, i didn't know that your ex got sympathy and you didn't. and....i was suddenly so sad.  because i've told her.  i've tried to explain.  and i've seen her tune out.  but i kept thinking that maybe she was finally getting it.  but, she still doesn't.
that's ok.  i'll be here for her.  i'll love on her.  help her as she processes.
but it doesn't mean that i can't feel sad.
because she was saying that the only ones she needs to get it are the ones she has relationship with.
and i totally understand that.
but it doesn't always happen.
for me it has happened very little.
big breath.
a few tears.
and on i go.
blessings.
