You Have No Idea How Hard It

A Marriage, Even One That Goes Awry, Generates Claims And Needs That Persist Like An Afterglow Long After The Emotional Fire Is Burned Out.

I Was A Long Time Learning That Wisdom And Experience Are Things Apart; That To Taste Life Is Not To Be Confused With Understanding What Life Is Really All About.

There Can Be No Summary And Dramatic End To A Marriage - Only A Slow And Painful Unravelling Of A Tangled Skein Of Threads Too Stubborn To Be Broken.

Fortunately For The Human Race, Pain, However Piercing, Is Not A Lasting Emotion. The Recollection Of Happiness Lingers, But The Consciousness Never Retains For Long The First Thrust Of Tragic Loss. The Details Of Daily Life Crowd In Upon The Mind.

Never Explain, Never Complain.
