What are the toughest things you’ve been through in life and how did you overcome it?

Question

I’m currently going through a divorce so I have been reflecting a lot and also trying to make sense of It all. My toughest experiences have been my mom passing away when I was 10, infertility/miscarriages and now losing my husband after being together for 10 years and married for almost 4 years(and he basically already started seeing someone before we officially separated). I know I just have to keep going and I’ll make It through but I struggle really bad some days. Losing my best friend and person seems like a pain I’ll never recover from.

Answer

My dad is mentally handicapped from an accident, my sister committed suicide and we had infertility issues too but were fortunate to have success with ivf. And my husband is now in rehab for alcoholism. This is all within the last 3 years.
Keep busy. Lean on friends and family for support. Allow yourself to cry. I only let myself cry about my sister, ugly cry, for like 20 min and then can’t for the rest of the day. I also joined a support group with other who lost loved ones to suicide.
I haven’t seen a therapist for a few months (April?) but I don’t feel I have to right now. But she helped a lot.
Remember tough times are temporary and brighter days are ahead.

Answer

I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through. Losing your mom as such a young age must have been hard. I’m 26 & I can’t picture myself without my mom. I also can’t picture & don’t wanna picture my children without me. 
I lost my only sibling when I was 16. I think that was the absolutely toughest thing I went through since his passing was so unexpectedly. What got me through were my parents & my two best friends who were there for me from the beginning. 
I know losing a spouse from divorce is tough but remember, a partner is replaceable. There’s plenty of single men out there. You lost your mother, you would never find another mother. Therefore, if you were able to move on at the age of 10 & over come the loss of your mother, you can overcome a divorce. I’ll be praying for you. You got this♥️

Answer

I spent almost my entire childhood being sexually, verbally, and mentally abused and nobody knew but my abuser. Thanks to therapy and the support of loved ones, I’m in a pretty good place. I had to come to terms with that it wasn’t my fault, I didn’t do anything to deserve it, and that it doesn’t make me who I am.
