I would like to know what the Course says about grief. I find this
subject very confusing now. I found this as I was taking painful steps
to end my marriage, and in some ways my study of the Course helped
give me the courage to move forward on my own, after many years of
being a full-time parent. And seemingly miraculously, this have worked
out for me much better than anyone ever expected. I found a good
career again in a large corporate environment and I was able to keep
our home and keep my kids in the same neighborhood, and schools etc.
and they are doing very well in difficult circumstances.

I have so much to be thankful for. But I have a hard time reconciling
the 'human' grief process, seemingly a natural thing, with what I have
learned from the Course so far. I get that this is not real - that the
goal is to see beyond the illusion and remember who I really am. But I
still have all this grief that comes up from time to time from being
newly divorced (1 year divorced, 1 year before that separated). I was
married for 16 years, and even though much of the marriage wasn't
good; much of it was and I relied on my husband for support in many
ways.

you want, and then, when you forget, decide again, and when you forget
again, decide again. Time will shorten the more you do it...

sv: wow robin, the lesson before me -- well for today and tomorrow and well,
for the last few months! thanks! sheryl

~~ As I settle into the truth of who I am,
I am able to look/see the insane ego
thoughts that took me away from God.
Ego = Edging God Out - how true!
And thus the golden opportunity to once
again AFFIRM what is real and DENY
what is false. The so called 'work' imho
is at thought level. <<

I wondered-, to deny what is false, is that
some form of intolerance? ;-)

Thank you Kay:

Sorry for the i.d. mix-up. You are a wonderful gift too. The reason
the issue
is so deep for me, is that before I got into ACIM about 20 years ago,
my world came crashing down, where I experienced similar...
