Scared of the future....

Hi all,
I have recently separated from partner of 13 years after lies, manipulation, cheating and control. We have 3 children together.
I am still very much in the grieving stage, and feeling very lost and confused. I do miss him a lot and in a way regret telling him he had to leave.
Deep down I know I have done the right thing for my children and myself. Yet still am finding everyday life very hard. I barely sleep or eat and am finding everyday tasks difficult.
I know it's very early days to be considering the future, but I have a fear of being lonely forever. My children are amazing and will always keep me happy. But in terms of having a connection with someone I mean.
I'm scared .....

Don't let your imagination of the future create a reality that isn't true.

Read Eckart Tolle "the power of now"

Take each day as it comes and deal with what you have to deal with now!!

Thank you for your reply. My mind is just on overdrive right now. Im angry at myself that I would even think about settling for so low.
I guess the heart and brain really do think differently. I just wish they would catch up with one another.
Thank you for the recommendation I will look into it x

The courage it takes to leave behind what's not for you anymore is the same courage that will help you find your way forward.

Even small steps forward are still stepping forward!
