I ...Great comment and a very wise choice of words. I get upset with the time heals all wounds mentality. The same with this phrase about one door closing and the other opening. People freely spout these words out with authority forgetting that the hallway between two doors can be littered with obstacles(hardship), dark and without light making it very scary and hard to navigate. And sometimes we get stuck in the middle of the hall!<br /><br />This woman risked a lot going public with her story and life. She is bound to be criticized by those who look at the six year period and be unable to understand her difficulties and say that she is lacking because she hasn't gotten her life back together. Six years can seem like a long time but I know that life can actually get harder and I'm even more tired and discouraged just trying to keep on living. <br /><br />It is so easy to point fingers at all that people don't seem to do in our eyes. I wish we were better able to point out all that people do accomplish and praise them for doing the best they can under trying circumstances. This woman deserves some credit too.Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-5231941093025522482010-06-09T14:22:22.857-07:002010-06-09T14:22:22.857-07:00Interesting.

I had coffee this afternoon with a woman who told me a comment made by a woman whose husband left her (Okay, she's not a widow but still alone) She said, "When one door closes, another opens, but the hallway between them is a bitch."thelmazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819557846762852247noreply@blogger.com
