What’s the one moment in your life that shattered you and changed you forever?

When my fiancé died in an accident a couple of months before our wedding☹☹. With the help of Family, Friends and an excellent Grief Councillor I have got through the heartbreak and moved on .

There have been so many deaths and loss of people and animals over the years. Parents, brother, sister, countless other losses.. The longer we live the more we have. Although affected they didn't really shatter me, I don't shatter easily. But the one that did, was someone I loved deeply, who decided to walk away like I meant nothing and was disposable.

Our house burned down on my 7th birthday, destroying everything, but we were safe. I had a big party the day before with lots of gifts, all lost. It was a shattering experience, but it soon dawned on me how unimportant material things were and how vital friends can be.

When I was living in a big city working a computer company and I worked in the customer repair center. So I work on peoples and corporations computers.

This is going back decades. Everyone still had dial-up Internet Windows 95/98 and XP and Macintosh computers where big at the time.

Google was the new kid on the block. Big software giant we know today. Was never innocent. Back then when they were started out. They would use embedded software code like a virus would. Google would collect every bit of data it could on that computer.

I mean every little dirty little picture, movie, owner name, company documents, or whatever. Google would make text file copy of the data code. You know the classic zeros and ones computer language.

It would compact a megabytes (Gigabyte hard drives were not out yet) of hard drive space in a kilobytes space of text file and send it to google HQ.

Found this out when I work service.

Google does the same thing with cellphones and much more advanced now.

And people wonder why I hate Google so much. They sold our data to the highest bidder. Governments paid a lot of money for that data.

I was shattered over time, guess I just got used to it, until I couldn’t anymore and started working within.

The pain was the best gift I was given. 🥰

When my parents died in a car crash but i survived.

Losing my daughter. my whole life changed

When my husband helped his friend rape me.

When they both slept I left with a few things in a Tesco carrier bag and never looked back.

When I was 7 and my family left the Baptist church for the Presbyterian church and the Baptist preacher condemned my father and our entire family to Hell. I had a nervous breakdown over it. But it awakened me to the evils of religion.

When my sister died because of me.

My dad passing away from esophageal cancer the day after my birthday 💔😢😢😢😢

A miscarriage.

My mother’s demise.

Having a still birth.

Shattered and forever? I guess my sometime hasn't yet arrived.
