For me, these thoughts comes to mind:
- I am being fired,dumped, or divorced.
- I have something in my nose or teeth.
- My breath needs help.
- What did I do now?
In the midst of divorce, now, more than ever, my children look to me. "They look to me to see how merciful and generous I am in good times. They look to me to see how strong and faithful I am in bad times. They watch, they listen, and they model. Years from now I want my children to remember a childhood lived well, with a mother who was loving, consistent, devoted, funny, disciplined, playful, and totally present and emotionally available."(Kristin Armstrong)
I don't think anyone likes to hear those words. I wonder if they have ever been followed by good news.
