Empty nest – empty heart?

Empty Empty nest   empty heart?
Empty

 
Dear Mrs. Figgins:  
Me and my husband  have been married 29 years and have beautiful childrens away from home and busy. with their lifes.  
My concentration all the years was the childrens and everything Eduard.  He is a good business man but his concentration is always  Eduard.  He had many girlfreinds but I think no more.  Difficile.   
I have too good freinds but when I return home I find myself very alone, very lonely and ready to leave.  
I try with my heart and body for these years. There is no more left.  So many times I sit alone and criy to my own.   My life feels alone in the big ocean and no land to see.
My childrens for a long while bring this conversation to me.    They love their father but they know my life. 
They want me to give me a new beginning and live with them but this is not a good idea.  Childrens need their private life.  
Is it bad to want more for me?  
Adelais, Marseille
 
Dear Adelais:  
Life is a ball of compromises, and it sounds like you’ve made them.  
Sometimes life doesn’t make the turns we counted on, but you have been a loving  mother blessed you with great children.  
While your children’s love and support is important - they are living “their” life now.  Only you know if you’re ready to move on – and how you want to now live “your” life.  
Change is scary, but so is treading in the ocean with no land in sight.  
Talk with Eduard and let him know of your unhappiness.  Tell him of your decision.
There may be difficult days ahead, but then – sunshine breaks thru. 
You deserve happiness.  You deserve to finally reach land. 
La terre est proche, Adelais.   Avoir foi en Dieu. 
Mrs. Figgins
