It is a lot to figure out and it will be good to vent to a professional during the process. You can tell him/her things you are afraid to tell friends & family. <BR/><BR/>You three are doing better than you think. Feel better!

I read the blog all the time and have been carrying around a generic sympathy card since I was at the house. In response to your blog, If we were in Florida Greg would let me hang out with you but I'm not sure about the letting him go out with you. Keep up the laughter you always have somewhere in your messages. I love to see the humor and know it's always there.<BR/>AshleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223791144027408247.post-2370226587314072782009-02-27T11:27:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:27:00.000-05:00Love the blogs Jake.

Always know that it's o.k. that your emotions run deep and you can not figure them out - none of us can to be quite honest. Continue to keep us up on how you are doing - good, bad, or ugly.

We should all go up and visit Brad and Rachel (when it's warm, of course). <BR/><BR/>I now have to add you to my protection list. This means I get to run google and background checks on the people with whom you associate.

I have had the urge to say something to you many times, but there just didn't seem to be the right words. What could be said? How many times can you hear "sorry"? I am very pleased to hear you are going to a grief counselor. You will be helped. I know. I saw a counselor after my divorce from what ended up to be an abusive marriage. They know their stuff. Even the littlest emotion can be explained so that you feel okay and not nuts. They also help you to know what is ahead for you. You have a long road ahead. I am glad you found someone to talk to, but I have one thing to say. Be careful. I know this person. A lot of people know this person. You are in a very vulnerable position right now. And, as bad as I hate to say it, there are people that will take advantage of you even in this situation. Watch out. No one can take care of you in matters such as these, except you. Also, just because no one pulled you aside to talk to you doesn't mean that you have not been on people's minds. You have been in everyone's prayers, and Reese has been taken a little extra care of. You should be comforted in that. Besides, you yourself said that you hadn't talked to anyone yet. You have to be ready. No one can push you. You have many people that will listen any time you want to talk, be it at home, work or school.<BR/>They say divorce is like a death, if you are on the crappy end of it. I was okay until the final judgement was rendered regarding my kids. Then it was "over" finally. Then I went through numbness, then anger, then depression, and then peace. 15 years of my life was lost. I have survived. I continue to survive. Life has changed, but I am still here. It will get easier, just maybe not as quickly as if you had gotten divorced. Time heals all wounds they say. It doesn't do away with the scars left behind though. Keep your chin up. One thing that has helped me is that when I start feeling really down I focus on some event, or activity, or trip that is in the near future. I plan, and think about and look forward to it. It gives you something to look forward to and pulls you back up from the depths of doom. Try it. It can't hurt, and who knows, it may work for you too. At least it makes life a little more bearable.<BR/>I don't think blog responses are suppose to be this long....it is more of a mini series than a reply! I hope I have not made you angry. I just wanted to say my peace. I hope Reese is feeling better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223791144027408247.post-210705577548506222009-02-25T21:05:00.000-05:002009-02-25T21:05:00.000-05:00Jake, keep your head up.Glad to hear things are bu...Jake, keep your head up.<BR/>Glad to hear things are busy.<BR/>We keep you and the boys in our thoughts every day.<BR/><BR/>Nice work with the B-Ball coaching.
