When a "person" dies....we grieve... that's how we are suppose to respond, it is expected....
What no one tells us is how to respond when "our dream" dies....
We all have a "relationship" dream... This idea of what life is suppose to be like with a person....
We make plans... move in...get married...have babies....buy a house, car etc.
But what happens when the other person just leaves?
What if the other person cheats?
What if the other person turns out to be the biggest bitch you ever met?
What if the other person develops an addiction?
How do you cope when you realize that the "dream" is DEAD?????
What is the next step when you "wake up" and the life you thought you had is now.... GONE????
Erin is going through this right now. She married her high school sweetheart had 4 kids 2 boys 2 girls.... Lives in a beautiful home with a summer home at the shore. Life is perfect.... Until she comes home early from the shore home to find Kevin in HER bed with his lover...
I am not sure if it is Kevin that she misses....or the "dream" of the life they should have had together....
Erin is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered dream...
In a perfect world I would have all the answers.... But in reality I do not.
What I know is this...
Once you "wake" up..... It is impossible to go back to the same dream.
All you can really do is move on.... You WILL get through this dream turned nightmare!!!!
The dream is dead....
As long as it's dead it can't hurt you anymore....
