This is so hard

I can't imagine a pain worse than my husband having an affair. Little girls dream of the beautiful wedding, big dress, but most of all, a prince charming groom. I had everything I wanted. A responsible and loving husband, beautiful baby, supportive family, wonderful parish. I haven't been able to justify any prayers for us up until a week ago because I felt there weren't two people to whom God's gifts had been more generously bestowed. That all changed when I found out the awful truth. Some moments it feels like the pain is so engulfing I can never recover. Other moments, I can catch a glimpse of the life we still could have together. I pray every day to the Blessed Mother to help me bear my grief.

You're not using the tools you were given. Stating "I felt there weren't two" is an example. Yours is a thought NOT a feeling. Dialogue must be rough to do without talking about feelings.
