A Funeral for My 28 Year Marriage
Ranked #971 in Relationships & Family, #123,206 overall
Squidoo friends, family, loved ones, old and new friends...
Please join me in sorrow and healing as I seek closure and inner peace.
On Squidoo I go by the name JJNW. Many of you know me by this, and many by my real name, Janienne. Some of you will not know me at all, but may find this in your own journey of healing. In any case, thank you for attending this virtual funeral for my marriage.
Squidoo is a place I feel safe and loved, hence my choice to host my service here. I thank the good people of Squidoo for ongoing support, love, and encouragement.
Thank you for coming and being here for me and for my children.

My children and I have been abandoned.
After years of psychological, emotional and sometimes physical abuse, we are breaking free of strange, subtle and hidden kinds of control and mental manipulation.We do not have the closure of a normal 'relationship-gone-bad.' Our pleas for answers go ignored.
We have not have the sympathy of others. No one has died.
We can hardly explain what has happened. It is almost unfathomable.
Until now, we have told only a very few.
We are afraid. We cry alone.
We hoped for change and kindness that did not come.
And now we come together with those we love, those who care, and whoever this may help.
This book is helping me to understand...
To those who know us as a couple...
I am so sorry for your loss.
I know your pain.
I am here for you.
I have no choice but to try to find closure...
to enable me to move forward and be strong for my children.
I am devastated and deeply hurt. The man with whom I expected to live the rest of my life has chosen another path. He chooses to lose us rather than admit the harm he has done and continues to do to his wife and children.
My kids and I have tried for months, years to ask to be treated with genuine loving kindness. There is nothing left to try.

Mourning Songs for My Marriage
(Click on each video to play or stop)
You've left me speechless, so speechless.
curated content from YouTube
It is better to light a candle
than to curse the darkness.
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Quotations
The following are quotes that have meaning for me. I know the end of a marriage is hard on anyone involved in any way. I share these with you in the hope you find comfort, strength and healing in them.
- If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. - Orson Welles
- When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. - Helen Keller
- If you are going through hell, keep going. - Winston Churchill
- Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. - Unknown
-
Thank you to Comfort Doc on Squidoo for sharing the following three quotes...
I don't believe I've ever met a person who hasn't been
challenged or wounded by something.
Difficulties present choices
We can either waste away from our wounds
or use them to grow our souls.
Joan Borysenko -
The most beautiful people we have known
are those who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle, known loss,
and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation,
a sensitivity and an understanding standing of life
that fills them with compassion, gentleness
and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross -
Out of every crisis comes the chance to be reborn,
to reconceive ourselves as individuals,
to choose the kind of change that will help us to grow
and to fulfill ourselves more completely.
Nena O'Neill
My message to those who care for me...

Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe,
and stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.
~ Christopher Robin to
Winnie the Pooh

Fill your present with the small, joyful moments of life, and with the love between you and your children. Embrace what is yet to be. In other words, hang in there - you're doing great!

Time to find and be able to not only appreciate new things but allow new people to appreciate you. In understanding I give a Squidoo Blessing.

- This is such a sad point in your life it would be hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but you already know that "time heals all wounds" ... and as I like to think also .. " time wounds all Heels!"
From my experience, although life may seem empty as so many years invested in a lifetime goal will feel like they were wasted, you will very quickly start to appreciate the calm and peace of living a life where you are not constantly, daily, being buffeted by the emotional abuse you appear to have endured for so many years.
I have learned that life is tough, but I'm tougher... same for you, and life does gets better ... !
I wish all the very best to you and your loved ones, from me and mine.

- Janienne, the mourning for the death of a marriage is so needed and important for your wellness; we are here to support you. You're brave and wise to seek out this community in your grief and to work through the end by writing. I've lived through the death of 2 marriages that (combined) totalled about the same number of years so I do understand the grieving and recovery you'll go through, but to have spent 28 years in an abusive relationship seems to me that you and yours have survived a living hell. Go on with life, leave the sadness behind, and you will find so much happiness you will look back and be proud for moving on and staying strong. Peace to you and your family ... Lee

Someone once said (I don't remember the exact words) when the road ends for the caterpillar, it begins for the butterfly. You have broken out of an imprisoning cocoon and given your children (and yourself) an incredible gift.

Stand tall and proud and you will do well for yourself and your children.

- What a brave way to deal with a marriage that can't last. Leaving must be hard. I do wish you and your children strength to deal with the changes and may you all flourish in your new lives. And when it gets tough: do remember that there were VERY good reasons to leave and there are no good reasons to go back unless there is fundamental change. Which temporary good behavior isn't.

- Heartfelt lens. Sorry to hear about the end to this chapter of your life. I've been married for 30+ years and we also took the time to homeschool both of our kids from kindergarten through high school. It has been a struggle, and yes, many times we argued and fought... especially with losing jobs frequently (in my line of work, it seems to be the norm nowadays). Finances were always tough on us ... but we've managed to make it. However, we have many friends who haven't fared as well... and to those friends, and to you, we offer prayers of solace and healing and the ability to move forward to the next chapter of life. Blessings to you--

- I'm sorry you're going through this, but believe me, you will find life easier to live once you are no longer in daily contact with his behavior. Divorce is traumatic under the best of circumstances, but don't feel that you have failed. It takes two to make a marriage work, and apparently he wasn't willing to do his part to make things better.
I've been through a divorce, and wish you the best in your new life, which is what you are embarking on now.

- One thing I know about relationships is that the healing does happen and then you wonder why and how you were caught in the mess in the first place. There has got to be an end to the misery and pain you and your children have been going through and if he made the decision to leave then good on him. Give it a few months and you won't know yourself. Independence from misery is a gift from God, grab it with both hands. Blessed and featured on Blessed by Skiesgreen 2012. Hugs

- Did he chose him over you all or did he understood that you're better than him? You know, although it may be hard to see your dreams come to an end, chances are that life offers something better than you knew.
I know, it's easier to tell such things than experience them. But I've already experienced them long ago and now, I know that it was the most beautiful gift he ever gave me.
Know that my thoughts are with you and that I send positive feelings you way each and every day.

- P.S. Closure is an old concept in dealing with grief and loss. Kenneth Doka says of grief and loss
We do not get over grief. We learn to live a diffferent life.
But over time, we eventually learn to live with the loss.
Another way of looking at things is writing a new story of your life, to include the loss, and writing a positive ending.

I don't believe I've ever met a person who hasn't been
challenged or wounded by something.
Difficulties present choices
We can either waste away from our wounds
or use them to grow our souls.
Joan Borysenko
Out of every crisis comes the chance to be reborn,
to reconceive ourselves as individuals,
to choose the kind of change that will help us to grow
and to fulfill ourselves more completely.
Nena O'Neill
he most beautiful people we have known
are those who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle, known loss,
and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation,
a sensitivity and an understanding standing of life
that fills them with compassion, gentleness
and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Wishing you strength and courage in this challenging time.
