Day 9

St. Jude, I need faith and energy. I don't want this hope I have that creeps up, giving me glimpses of C and I reconciling. Please help heal my heart (today!) and get rid of that hope! It doesn't serve me. I need to get through the next month and I'd like to do it feeling good, not like a shell just drifting through the day. I'm sorry I am weak and my faith is weak. I pray to you and God to help me. Why is the fact I want deep, authentic love and a family been so hard to attain?

Day 8

St. Jude, I am weak and worn out. Not only am I dealing with the loss of C, but the depression that accompanies it. Please have mercy. My faith is weak, I know. But, I am still here, praying for help, for forgiveness. I am so overwhelmed with all I have to do in the next month, and all I want to do is stay in bed with my dog and book. Please, help me. I feel I need a miracle. I miss C and what we had, but I'm trying so hard to forget. I need energy to get through my days and finish the school year, and my son's graduation, then I can deal with the rest. Please, give me some sign everything will turn out wonderful and my hopes were not in vain.

Day 7

I'm so tired, St. Jude. What a sad, pitiful day I had...I spent all day in bed and only recently forced myself out to go to a bookstore and get some food. How depressing...and lonely. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up. At least I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I hope I can motivate to go to yoga, at least. But, I just don't care...about anything, really. I'm planning a date, and most likely several. That's what men do...they immediately date women after a break up. Maybe that will help...an ego boost at least. All the men interested in me are in their late 50's...I guess I'm a young chick to them...they are closer in age to my parents than me...but, beggars can't be choosers. Hopefully, all of this pain, apathy, cynicism and general unhappiness will pass. I really thought my life was heading down such a different path. Please, please help and guide me. I am so weak.

Day 6

Wow, I can't believe I almost missed a day...technically, I guess I did but I hope this still counts even though it's after midnight. I'm feeling so blah, apathetic and unmotivated...emotionally numb...I know a big part of that is the medication...sucks that I have to be on it again but if it speeds things up and takes away the pain, so be it. I told a friend tonight how I wanted to erase all memories of C and she said, "Is that possible?" I don't know...I don't think about the others and I was so upset at their endings...I guess I want to just fast forward through this, not waste time 'healing' and 'processing'...God, I've done this too many times! I'm tired! And, crazy me, in the back of my mind, the hope of my heart, is that he will call me in a month to tell me how wrong he was, etc. I'm pathetic. I'm even going to go on a date soon, or dates, whatever...that is what men do, right? It seems to work for them. Anyway, I'm sort of a mess, but sorta not...I just ask for help out of this in 9 days, I guess. Thank you.

Day 5

it's still hard waking up, knowing he is no longer in my life, no longer loves me...and then to just face the day...well, at leasat it is friday. All I think about is getting through the day so I can come home and crawl into bed. If I can sleep, I can escape. How pitiful. St. Jude, I'm putting what little faith I have left in you to help me out of this misery. I feel so let down. I really thought this relationship was good, healthy and had a future :( Please remove all memories of it from my mind and heart.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I seem so ungrateful St. Jude. I want to be thankful for my life...but to deal with this loss, on top of the other losses, is too much to bear. I hate that I had to go back on medications to barely get through the day. Maybe things will become clearer but right now, I feel despondent and apathetic. I'm sorry

Day 4

Slogging through...feel like a shell...don't want to be here...no hope, no faith...how did I end up here again? Please help me St. Jude.

Day 3

Had to take a day off of work. I am just not there and simply exhausted, body and mind. Spent the day in bed. Hopefully, this won't become habit and my body was able to rejuvinate. But I'm definitely depressed. How did I end up here again? I really thought I was on my way to such a different place, with a man who wanted to be with me and create a future. It's too much to think about anymore. I just want to stop.

Day 2

St. Jude, I know this sounds ungrateful, but I can't help feeling led on, then let down...why all the hope, only to have my heart smashed to pieces in the end. This whole thing, I simply can't understand...and now, what's the point. I have no hope for my future...What was the point of this wonderful year full of love and promise of a family and loving future? I want to be thankful to you and God, for I always believed you knew the best path...but I feel my faith is shattered. Anyway, I still say this novena as my heart is full of pain and suffering.

Day 1

St. Jude, I'm going to do another novena...maybe this one will be easier for you and God to answer. I'm asking for you to eliminate C from my soul and heart, and to rid my mind of all thoughts of him. I want to feel nothing for him and to forget we even had a relationship.

Trying to understand and accept

Well, my prayer request was NOT answered :( I'm sorry St. Jude, but I feel let down. Yeah, yeah, I'm supposed to accept the situation and have faith that something better for me is on the horizon. Honestly, I feel shattered. C broke up with me and the whole situation of the past month, how it came out of the blue after such a loving and wonderful year...blindsided me. So now more pain, more suffering, more just getting through the day with no joy in my heart. I'm back taking antidepressants and antianxiety just to get through the day. Is this what God wants? What is the lesson in all of this? I'm sorry I'm not feeling very thankful. Hopefully, I will see the light...but I really thought this union was blessed by God, and sent by God...my final reward for all the heart pain I've suffered in relationships. I guess what I ask for now is to please take C out of my mind and heart. I feel like a shell, just going through the motions. If you could tell me what I need to know about this, that would be great. Thank you.

Thank you, Saint Jude

Thank you, St. Jude, for sending the message of hope on Tuesday night. At least, that is what I'm taking that to be...a message of hope that C and I will be reunited and are love will be renewed and we will spend our lives together. I am still praying as I had a bad breakdown last night and this morning. I had such negative thoughts of worthlessness, helplessness that I simply wanted to be dead. I am afraid St. Jude, that I'm going into a depression. It's been over a month without sleep and the state I'm in is bad in general health terms. Please, please please, come to my aid quickly. I simply can't take anymore. Please resolve this relationship issue. I miss C so much and I just want him to get over his crisis. I know life doesn't always work that way but can't you help us, in this instance? Thank you St. Jude. Please help me end the pain, depression, suffering. I hate feeling and being so ALONE :(

Day 9

Dear St. Jude, THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for giving mehope on Day 8! I am taking this as a positive sign from God that this relationship is meant to move forward.

Day 8

St. Jude, today is the day 'they' said you would answer my prayers...that it's never been known to fail. From past experiences, I know this is not quite true...while I've always been taken care of, I have not always 'gotten what I wanted' by Day 8. Was yesterday's email the sign of hope I prayed for? I'm not sure. I still wake up with such intense anxiety. I just miss him I just love. Please touch his heart with love for me, like we used to have...only better...renewed.

Relationship Prayer

Well, not a great weekend all around. Nothing really happened one way or the other; I just feel empty inside or filled with anxiety or sadness. I'm so very tired and have been in bed for two days, for the most part. Not good, I know...but I have a busy week at work and stress over how I will make it through with all that is on my mind. I find moments of peace on walks with the dog, or yoga or reading but nothing lasts for more than an hour. This can't go on. Dear Lord, please help me. I dedicated this day to doing a 9 hour novena to St. Jude. I prayed to St. Jude every hour, on the hour, for 9 hours. I just didn't know what else to do. I'm grasping and I know my faith is weak. I pray for Faith, Dear God, if nothing else. I also found these prayers online that might be helpful.

Day 6

Wow, yesterday was a pretty blue day. Everything seems to catch up to me on the weekends, when time allows the sadness to simmer. I'm doing and thinking crazy things when really, I just want my relationship back with the man I have grown to love over this past year +. Is it really toomuch to ask for an authentic loving relationship? even at my age? I gave up on the family thing awhile ago,and now with child off to college...well, loss, loss and more loss. I desperately need your help St. Jude. Coping mechanisms, therapy, etc. are all fine and good, but I'm not really living this past month. I'm trying to let go, and let God but I'm struggling with that. I need help, hope, and to love and be loved. Thank you, in advance, St. Jude.

Day 5

Still having bad insomnia...tried some advil pm but now I feel hungover. I must say that my emotions keep swinging...from complete sadness to anger to even joy in remembering our love and happy times but then back to sadness realizing the reality of today and his absence in my life. I both dread and anticipate hearing from him...I hope for a renewed love and healed relationship but keep thinking of break up scenarios and even more pain that I will have to deal with in the near future. This is madness! Please St. Jude, help me out of this dark place. I do appreciate the moments of peace and the fact I am not so depressed I cannot get out of bed, but I know this is not how God wants me to live my life. I'm doing the best I can but I need an end to this pain. Why can't I simply have this relationship? Why can't we simply be happy together, love each other and create a life together? Like what we were doing for over a year? Please, help me...I"m trying to have faith that all is happening as it should, but it is so very hard.

Day 1

St. Jude, I am in need of your help again.

You know my intention from the bottom of my heart, and I will try to accept if it is not meant to be...but honestly, I'm not sure how much more I can take. I am in desperate need of fast help.
