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?

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.
