Bombshell

Dear friends,

Today Iain, who's been my husband for 20 years, told me he's leaving me for another woman. As you can imagine, I'm feeling a bit shellshocked right now. I'm off to stay at a friend's place tonight (thank you so much, Margot! x)

As far as my 365 project is concerned, (and the rest of my life too, for that matter), my plan is to take a week or so off to clear my head, and then start taking baby steps towards a new life. I fully intend to continue the project after my 'holiday'.

Until then, I'll love you and leave you, but I'll still be checking in on other people's blogs.

Love from Helen

  1. Hi Helen
    We'll be here when you come back. A week off sounds like a good idea right now.

  2. Honestly I don't know what to say. I have been following you for a while and feel we are friends and when a friend hurts I hurt. I wish you strength and wisdom to deal with the transition your life will take. Breaks-ups go through various stages such as the grieving stages when a loved one dies. I'll always be reading your blog and wishing you well. You are not alone.

  4. Helen, I wish I could say something to make this all go away. Unfortunately, all I can do is to say that I am thinking of you, wishing you strength, and sending you hugs.
