'This time two years ago was hands down the worst time of my life'
Here, Rosie writes candidly about how she managed to move forward after her husband left...in love with for 26 years had become a stranger to me. I was in pieces and had no idea whatI was devastated, and I don’t say those words flippantly; you can be ‘devastated’ when that flattering maxi skirt has sold out in your size, but what I mean is that my entire being was decimated, my self-esteem shot. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep.
I wanted to emerge more self-aware, stronger, more independent. I wanted to handle this situation with grace and dignity. It also gave my purpose. Because after the feature was published, a tsunami of women wrote, emailed and DM-ed. I was helping other women who felt as desperate and bereft as me.
Slowly, slowly, I repaired. By reading, by talking, by talking care of myself, and hugging my children. I ran with two friends, I took an SSRI antidepressant. I went on dates, and kissed, and realised there were men who were better suited to me. The crappy days, the days when I felt overwhelmed, under-resourced, sad and hurt, became less frequent.In the Venn diagram of contentment, there are three main factors: relationship, family and friends, and work.
