The last two years – HIGHS & LOWS – Tons of total life change:
May 2023 – Youngest graduated high school (beginnings of empty nesting, and honestly, a little grief).
June 18, 2023 – My mom passed away rather suddenly, 15 days after my 50th birthday.
July 2024 – I went back to work full-time after being a full-time wife and mom. I worked at the same school where my oldest was a teacher.
August 2023 – We dropped my baby boy off at college.
January 2024 – We lost our 12 year old golden retriever to cancer. He was with us for 10 years.
June 2024 – We lost our 14 year old yorkie to chronic back issues we could no longer manage with pain medications. He was with us for 12 years.
August 2024 – Major job circumstances and I resigned and was devastated.
October 2024 – Husband of 26 years dropped a bomb about unfaithfulness.
November 2024 – Husband moved out and moved in with another woman.
December 2024 – I filed for divorce.
January 13, 2025 – I started a new job in a new career field.
January 18, 2025 – My oldest son got ENGAGED! Wedding is October, 2025
February 2, 2025 – My middle son got ENGAGED! Wedding is December 2025.
March 2025 – Divorce was final.
May 1, 2025 – My middle son graduated from college.
I read this and my heart doesn’t know what to do with it all. So many wonderful blessings and so many devastating heartbreaks. The goal in the next several posts is to dive deeper into all the events. Why? Because I need a place to share. And because one day, maybe it will help another 50 year old woman experiencing too many life changes at one time, not feel so alone.
