Divorce and unkindness

Expectations are a real difficulty. As I struggle through the dissolution of 24 years of my life and self-definition I am constantly reminded of the unkindness of this life. I didn't count in the bitterness. I didn't count on everything I knew of my partner of 24 years to change in the blink of an eye. Perhaps it was naive to believe we would still be who I knew us to be, just separated. I'm stumbling through the rabbit hole Alice. Nothing is making sense today. I'm caught in the swirl of sadness, awash in hopelessness and stuck in inertia. They say "tomorrow is another day". I'm counting on it being a different day.
