Uncharted

After 27 years together, my husband left me for another woman. This is the story of my uncharted journey after my divorce. My initial hope was to bring funny and uplifting stories of healing but it seems I have some feelings to share before I get to that part of healing. I hope sharing these stories will help you know that you are not alone in this experience.

Music has carried me through a lot of my healing journey, helping me to “feel the feelings”. So each entry will include lyrics to an important song to me, mostly from Sara Bareilles. The song Uncharted is one of her most important songs to me, which is why I named this blog as I did.

No words
My tears won’t make any room for more
And it don’t hurt
Like anything I’ve ever felt before

This is no broken heart
No familiar scars
This territory goes uncharted
