Summary: Eyes wide shut. I refused to acknowledge the change that was coming at me like a freight train. I refused to take responsibility for my part in this change. I lied to myself that everything was just fine. Just a rough patch. Just temporary relationship growing pains. Not my idea. Not my choice. Not the right timing. Not the future I planned. Not the story I told myself. When change is thrust on you, you may react like a drowning woman, fighting, flailing, struggling to breathe between the gasps and sobs. It’s terrifying, dark, and cold. It feels like death. Been there, done that. Flailed and floundered, and at times, grabbing on to others, pulling them under with me. But finally, I realized I didn’t want to die or make others suffer through my tempest, and I stopped flailing. Strap on your life preserver and listen in as I share how I made it through the rough weather of being dumped by the man I loved, and how I became the storm. And while you are ‘weather-watching’, throw out a lifeline to friends who have been swamped by unwelcome, unhappy change and bring a little sunshine back to their lives.
