Status. Hummmm. Believe it or not, that was a hard one. With the exception of my early childhood, I had been with one person since I was 17. I’d been married my whole life! And now I was blankly staring at the multiple-choice question…Single? Married? Divorced? Widowed?
I realize some refer to themselves as “single” post-divorce, but I didn’t feel that was being truthful. Choosing “single” seemed as if I was ignoring the past 40 years of my life.
Married? Definitely not.
Widowed? Unfortunately not (that’s a JOKE people, lighten up!).
Divorced? Divorced was the answer, but I still found it a bit difficult to place that little “x” next to the word Divorced.
Divorce wasn’t easy for me. Marriage was something I thought would be for a lifetime, no matter what. Plus, by the time I was aware of anything unusual happening in my marriage, it was too late. I had no choice in the matter. One can only fight (or beg) to keep their family together for so long.

Widowed? Unfortunately not. I laughed over that. Ditto!
