Kelly,
Loving someone is always a risk. Loving other human beings is an authentic human need. When that connection is broken it just hurts.

I am also a romantic. I too believe in the power of love. But just because you have fallen in love with him, just because you still love him, doesn’t necessarily mean it is going to work between you.

It is right and good to want someone to be intimate with, to hold close, to love with all of your heart. Your ability to stand in your own truth now is important. Even if it hurts. Embrace the hurt. Allow the tears to flow. Offer it in your prayers. Find a friend or counselor to hold your hand. It seems as if the heart will break, it can be overwhelming, but it won’t break.

You are being very vulnerable here and that speaks well of you. I offered prayers for you in our healing circle last night. Hold fast.
Jerry
