While it’s tough enough to deal with your own emotions from a partner’s affair, sometimes it’s compounded by the fact that the spouse is ALSO dealing with intense emotions of confusion, guilt and/or depression. And this, in turn, can delay the process of working on rebuilding the marriage, especially if it prevents talking about the issues involved.
Keeping ones self busy after the death of a child becomes very hard. It seems like time spent grieving and mourning is such hard work that so many things are swept by the wayside. I know that for the first 2 years after my son's death doing anything became such a chore. It was hard going to work, hard keeping the bills up, hard shopping, even hard going home to see the family. Living life after the death of a child just isn't very easy.
Justin James Pierce: Angel on Earth
by Jim Balthazor
We had made a deal with Justin during his 7th grade year that he could get a puppy if he worked on bringing his grades up to all A's & B's (he was failing one class and getting a D in another). We didn't actually think he would be able to pull it off before school got out, but somehow he did. So he picked out a beautiful 8 week old puppy from the animal rescue.
