I must ask what you mean by this...because you will never be "finished grieving" until you enter heaven. There isn't an end to it, though the grieving changes over time. And how will you know you are "finished"?? By what criteria will you judge?
I don't necessarily agree with this. There have been many people in my life who have died and for whom I have finished grieving. It doesn't mean that I don't think about and/or remember them periodically, but still grieve their passing? No, I don't.

That's not to say that I have finished grieving the passing of everyone I have known who has died, but I most certainly do think it's possible to actually grieve completely and finish grieving the death of someone (because I have done so).

I think the grief process is personal to each person.






To answer the OP . . . I'm not sure if I'll get married again one day or not. Getting remarried is not a goal of mine; if the right person comes along, then I'll go from there. Otherwise, I don't give thought to getting remarried (nor do I give thought to not getting remarried). And because of that, I'm not "waiting" to finish anything before the possibility of getting remarried.

Shema;

I've got a nice, long PM about this ready to go out to you, but the dratted CW platform keeps giving me a runtime error, no matter which way I try to PM you...

Is there a mod in the house?

Meantime, perhaps if you PM me, I can send you my email, and I can reply with the post.

Yes, there is, but we're all having problems too. Nothing we can do about it. Admin is aware of the problem and is working on it.

IF/WHEN you are having such issues, go to the Feeback thread and post there.

Unfinished business before getting married again... well I just broke off an engagement to do that. Now to actually work on it....

I've been there. There's a lot of mental and spiritual garbage to sort through after you end an engagement. Did I REALLY do the right thing? Oh no, what if that was my only shot!? Maybe s/he wasn't THAT bad after all ...

It's pretty rough.

Is the engagement being put on hold to address some issues or is it a done deal? The fiance of my friend actually broke off the engagement after discovering the friend had gotten involved in some porn. The went to pastoral counseling and now the wedding is back on. It was rough on both of them though.

If you hold off on the body wax, you could use those hairs for your hair transplant.

Unfinished business... I think I've finished all my business. I'm in the process of waiting now while reading "You're Late again Lord: The Impatient Woman's Guide to God's Timing".

Now if you had asked me this same question 2 years aback - my unfinished business would have been my studying . But at the time it wasn't classified as unfinished business. Looking back now I see that it was.

I know that much of what you are saying is in jest but since you did mention this in more than one thread I thought that I would respond.

Did you know that there are many women that find bald men attractive. There is a thread on it in She Says. you should check it out. One worry down 2 to go.

Well, I reckon I should probably meet a girl before I get married.



Same...Uh, but... it'd be a guy for me. Heh. LOL.

As for 'unfinished business' (getting back on topic), I don't think I have any. I have things I want to do that I haven't even STARTED yet - like going to school to become a chef. So, of course, I don't imagine there's a guy who WOULDN'T appreciate such an aspiration. If there is, then my imagination must be lacking.

I just hope he wouldn't expect me to do all the cooking, all the time...as much as I *DO* love being in the kitchen.

It means that my ex-husband had a problem with his temper and that I have a tendency to continue to feel guilty for sins so need to learn to trust G-d again and to remember that some men are decent. I apologize, maybe that wasn't such a good thing to post.

Though evidently the fact that people were confused proves that the art of communication definitely needs to be improved on my part

I personally did find anything offensive with your post although I didn't fully understand it at first. Believe me when I can say that I totally relate when it comes to the art of communicating. I have put my foot in my mouth more than once on these threads and it's caused me to be more conscientous about my choice of words if nothing else (lol).

I don't know how long you have been divorced but it is definitely something you will phase out of. My ex was very controlling and very belittling of my opinion and I had to learn to communicate better within myself to learn that not everyone is trying to control or belittle me. I still deal with feeling immature around others but a lot of that is my fault because I purposely act more immature. *shrug*

Keep praying, keep making a conscious effort and you'll prevail. *huggles*

Yes its as if God, knowing beforehand that I would go bald, gave me a spare set on my back. Praise God!

In the depths of my despair the answer came to me. I thought that I may put an add in the local newspaper and leave it up to God.

“Wanted, blind woman for wife, must be a Christian. I can be your eyes, and you can be my heart. We can take long walks together holding hands to stop you from bumping into things. We can cuddle with the lights out and pretend that we are both blind. We can feel each others faces and I can tell you how beautiful you look and you can tell me how beautiful I feel. What we both lack as people individually, together we can make one whole person.”

The only down side to this is that she would probably not be to good at doing the house work, she would probably throw out the dirty washing to be collected by the garbage man, and wash the garbage. Vacuum the dog as well as the carpet, but I mean there is no such thing as the perfect marriage anyway. It is unreasonable for me to think that I will ever find the perfect woman, but I think that my best chance is with a blind one.
