Bitter Sweet

Today is my 26 year wedding anniversary.

Yesterday I signed a contract to sell my house, and received my final copy of my divorce decree.

So why am I so sad divorcing my ah?

maia....this is pretty "normal" for most. I think we always have a bittersweet n ostalgia when one chapter of life is coming to a close...before another one opens...

It could be worse....It could have been your 27th year anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This, too, shall pass....

I think we have to grieve our hopes. And I think that's totally normal. Just because you didn't want to stay married to him doesn't mean you aren't allowed to grieve your hopes and dreams.

I did that for years before divorcing, so once the divorce became final, I felt nothing.

Yes, I would like to echo what lillamy said (starting to feel like your shadow here today, lillamy, or your evil twin or something!). I liked this article on the topic of healing the death of a dream. I hope you find some help in it.
