I’m a woman who was married for 34 years and never imagined I would find myself starting over after divorce.
Starting over hasn’t been easy. Learning to trust again, opening my heart, and allowing someone into my life after experiencing heartbreak takes courage. When you’ve been through so much, letting someone in is a risk. And when you finally trust someone with your heart, only to have that trust broken, it can leave wounds that words cannot explain.
I’m learning that healing doesn’t mean you stop loving; it means you learn to love with wisdom, discernment, and boundaries.
Just because you have a good heart doesn’t mean everyone deserves access to it. Being vulnerable is beautiful, but it should be shared with people who have shown they are trustworthy, consistent, and genuine. Not everyone who enters your life is meant to have a place in your heart.
I’m still healing, still learning, and still trusting God with my future. I refuse to let heartbreak make me bitter or cause me to lose the loving heart God gave me. But I’m learning to protect my peace, pay attention to actions over words, and stop ignoring what my spirit is trying to tell me.
My past has taught me lessons, my pain has made me wiser, and my faith reminds me that God is not finished with me yet.
I may have trusted the wrong person, but I will never stop trusting God. 🙏🏽❤️
Sometimes starting over isn’t about finding someone new. It’s about finding yourself again, healing your heart, and allowing God to lead you into the next chapter.
