Last week I met up with two friends. One seemed to be in shock and the other was in deep pain.
The former has a house that a lot of women would kill for. Her husband is a multi-millionaire. Her three girls are all abroad. Over the years, we as friends saw her continually adjusting to her husband's financial success. It had not been easy.
The latter is a recent divorcee. Her child is with her ex-husband. She relocated to another city and for all intent and purpose, is making a good living with a new job. Most of the time, she seems to be making progress. Until she meets her child, that is. Then the cycle of pain and a deep sense of failure would descend. And she talks of death, yet again.
Of course there are many happily married couples. But I must say that if a young girl were to look at my two friends, she would probably decide to stay single.
