Mary, so sorry to hear that this is happening to you. I wish you all the best and hope things proceed in the best possible way.
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Please take good care of yourself. I'm sure you've thought things through, but it will be a bumpy road for a while.
mary, life throws curve balls. sometimes you are meant to catch them. i know that 6 months from now you will be better than evah.
Mary, I was just thinking about how great your posts were when someone posts a problem. You always have the best advice that is both articulate and kind. I wish you all the best in this most difficult time. Please know that we are all thinking of and caring for you. It will get better.

Oh Mary - I was wondering about you just this morning, thinking that I hadn't seen you post lately and hoping you were okay. I'm so sorry that you're going through these rough times. Sending thoughts for your comfort upwards.
I only saw this post because I was revisiting your thread about the church potluck. How I wish that potluck recipes and fashion were the pressing topics of your day!

I am so glad you have a new faith home, and I hope they will be walking beside you during such a tough, challenging time.

Your YLF family cares for you, too!
I'm so sorry you are dealing with that. Hugs to you!
Having met you, I know you are spunky and full of life. This may dim that brightness for a bit, but I can tell you're a fighter and will come away from it all a stronger and wiser woman.

I'm so glad you have your dear friends and a new church for support. Please lean on them and us whenever you need solace and strength.

So sorry that this is happening.
XOXO
Mary I'm sorry I have only just seen your post. I am terribly sorry for what you are going through and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I feel privileged that you would share this with us and even though we are spread around the world, we are here for you.
MK: you are fabness personified. We often struggle with the right words in a sitaution such as this so I'm going to say: I have you in my thoughts and prayers. I am here for you should you ever want/need to talk/rant. anything.And I'm sorry for the sorrow that an occassion like this brings to everyone involved.As one of our Gurus said yesterday " A prayer offered may not reduce the burden of sorrow but will give the strength to move forward in spite of it".
Hugs from me too.
I am so sorry to hear things have been rough, & I hope this new chapter for you is full & rich.
Oh, MaryK, I think it's time for a MaryK Day of love, hugs and sharing. I just read this and have been extremely sick with the flu and am just barely resurfacing.

Please know that you're in my thoughts and whenever you are ready and want to get together, please call me, text or PM me. Fashion Friends to the Rescue. We're always here for you and for each other. Hugs!!
I am so sorry MaryK. What a difficult decision, requiring enormous strength. Take it one small step at a time and be kind to yourself! Sending you hugs, love and support.
Mary, I'm so sorry to hear this. Stay strong and know that we are all here for you.
Damn. There really aren't any good words. Please know I'm thinking about you. Perhaps we can meet for a weekend coffee & goodies soon?
Oh MaryK,
Lim so sorry to hear this. I don't know if it helps to hear this or not, but you seem level headed and the kind of woman who always lands on her feet. Don't be afraid to lean on people. And cry all you want.

I am very sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time. Even when it's the right thing to do, moving on from a long term relationship is never easy. I know that I don't "know" you but you seem to be a wise, competent woman and I trust that you will weather this storm just fine...while wearing a brightly colored trench and carrying a stylish umbrella

Hugs to you.
If you were closer, I would pour you a glass of wine or break out the Ben and Jerry's. I really don't have words, but know your are In Our thoughts and prayers and We all wish the very best for you.
Mary, my heart goes out to you. I'll be thinking of you fondly, and wishing it all works out for the best for all concerned.
Big big hugs Mary. I hope things work out for you. I'm still going through my divorce, and it can be tough. Glad you are surrounded by the support of friends!
MaryK, I'm so sorry! You are such a positive, strong, awesome woman I wish the best possible outcome for you. I hope your IRL friends are supporting you along this path, and know that everyone here loves and supports you in whatever way we can. You are most definitely in my thoughts and prayers right now
Oh dear, I'm so sorry , Maryk. I don't know what else to say except that I will be thinking about you. You are an amazing and kind person and I know that you will pull through this and land on your feet!
You all have no idea what amazing rays of sunshine you are in my cloudy sky! It takes a village to get through something like this, and I couldn't ask for a kinder, more loving village! Even though most of us have never met in person, I count you all among my dear friends and I am humbled by your love and caring! You are helping me more than you know!
Oh Mary, I'm so sorry. You'll be in my prayers. I wish I could do something more concrete too. *big hug*
Mary, I'm so sorry that you are going though such a rough time right now. You are in my thoughts. If you ever want a sympathetic ear or shoulder to cry on please don't hesitate to call me. I hope each day is better than the one before and that everything will work out in the end. You are wise and brave and strong, and even when you're not feeling that way, we are here for you!
Mary, I am so sorry to hear about this and I wished I had wise words or the power to make you feel better.

Hope your closer friends give you all the warmth they can to alleviate this situation that , although though about , must be very dificult to live with.
Big hugs.
Mary, I am proud of you as I feel you are doing the right thing even though this is so emotionally and financially painful. Sorry I haven't responded on your thread yet; the restaurant just re-opened and I am scarce on YLF. But you have been in my thoughts for the past few weeks!

I only wish I lived closer, as our meets on the East Side are memories I treasure.
Hugs to you MaryK.
All my empathy and some of my jealousy with you, MK. Sometimes I fantasize about my own apartment. You are brave and strong!
