I haven't known what to say. Sadly, I've done it twice, but that was many years ago and feels like another person in another life. I only say sadly because if I could have *my* way I would have been married for decades right now and getting ready to grow old with the same person. Not to be, though. It can all be pretty bittersweet.
I do remember it being a roller coaster at times. There will be grieving - for what you wished could have been, might have been, etc. That caught me by surprise, but then again, I was super young then and knew little of psychology and had never had any therapy.
You are positioned a bit better in that way. I'm glad you made a decision - that has to be a relief. But it must also be so stressful later in life, too. You know, in the twenties we seem to by (sometimes) more resilient just naturally. It may not be smooth, but you'll get there. I have no doubt. Glad you have your women's group - they will be even more important, I bet.
I pray for peace for you. I hope Babble can be a source of support throughout. Seasons....change....so hard but sometimes so necessary.
