Lisa, your story really resonates with me. i too am getting divorced in midlife, and am having to completely reinvent myself. It's so easy to get stuck in bitterness and resentment, and it sounds like you took charge and did what was necessary to carve out a positive new life. That's where I was at too - then BLAM, I get hit by a car crossing in the crosswalk! Doesn't it feel like the fates are having a good long laugh at our expense? And - I know this is a totally unworthy thought - wouldn't it be more fair karma-wise if our EX was dealing with a busted leg and not us? I mean, we've been through enough, right?
I get down too, and you're right, tomorrow, like Scarlet said, is another day. We'll look back on this as something that happened that showed our strength and our resolve. In the meantime, swim and vent and heal. We're tough chicks.
