  • Life can change in an instant. Just days after celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary, my wife decided to leave me, and my world was shattered. In this raw and personal video, I share my journey of healing after heartbreak, how God has met me in the darkest moments, and how I’m learning to rebuild my life with faith, one day at a time. The divorce will be final in February.
    If you’ve ever experienced pain, loss, or felt completely broken, this video is for you. You’re not alone, and there is hope even in the deepest valleys. I pray my story can encourage anyone struggling right now, and I want to remind you that God is with you, even in the storm.

      I honestly don't understand how someone can left out of the blue without any big reason...m honestly speachless. Sounds u were surprised too. But normally a girl has here reasons and so I believe Jenna has. U can't control what happens to u, but u can control how u react to it. I can hear ur pain in ur voice 💔 and I feel like that I don't know what kind of words would make u smile a little bit more. It sounds like u are in a very challenging situation over and over again. How long will u be able to stand that? Take care of yourself Leonardo! Sounds like at one point ur parents, friends and ur wife failed u and u felt left for a long episode in ur life. Experiencing lonelyness is such an awful feeling but I do believe a lot of young ppl know this. Maybe u haven't found ur right ppl yet? It takes so much time and effort to build real trust with ppl but it is worth it! Michelle Obama has a really beautiful podcast with Jay Shetty once (it's on yt) and she said in the time while being in the white house a lot of fake friends were there and normally ppl would close up after this experience. But she and her husband always stayed open bc only when u are open u can receive. And they build a very strong circle of friends and feel secure now.
      Everyone needs to have this tribe. But sometimes ppl feel so lonely they choose wrong ppl instead of being alone. So make sure to have the good hearted and honest ppl around u! I wish we could be friends, u seem like a person I would love to be friends with. Ur believing in god, ur good heart, ur funny behavior, deep thoughts...like many other ppl! Maybe u should choose to move to a bigger city where u can meet more ppl? I don't know where u live beside that it is somewhere in finnland. Ahhh remember now u were born in australia right? Maybe u miss the sun and open minded ppl from there? God gifted u a free will so u can choose what u wanna do with ur life. But I feel like life is teaching u a lesson now. Listen. Adapt. And then come back. Take ur time ❤️‍🩹🫂 I would love some updates on how u are.
      I experienced heartbreak too and now u experience it for the first time. What helped me was: Don't stop doing things that make u happy. Do ur sport, ur hobbys, stay active, allow urself to lough and to cry. Timothée Chalamét was once in a relationship with the daughter of johnny depp. He described her as his first real love. He once said u are doing it right [heartbreak] when u go down the road and just feel whatever it takes and push u out of it.
      U will make it ❤️‍🩹

      Over 20 years ago I was where you are now. I was lost, broken and felt ugly and useless. But I didn't know in that time that God had a purpose for me. During that darkness, He was my only light. He was my strength. And he molded me into who I am now. He also sent me a new love, a partner who saw me the way God made me. 20 years later, I know that time served purpose. God always has a plan and knows what is right. I have been with my husband now over 20 years, and I am so blessed. In hindsight, I now know I could have never become who I am now had I stayed on that other path. The Lord even allowed His son to hurt and suffer, it was part of His plan. ❤🙏

    Leonardo, I am so sorry that you are having to endure this pain. I understand. My "high school sweetheart" and I married young and had a child. The day after our 10 year anniversary, I was served with divorce papers. I was devasted and blindsided. My world as I knew it felt like it was irrevacably shattered. I had to lean in to Jesus more than I ever had before. You said that you prayed for your marriage, and as difficult as it is to understand, your prayers were answered in ways that you don't understand now but you will in time. It is hard to understand God's plan as it is happening but it becomes more clear as time goes on. My divorce was almost 30 years ago now. I din't think that I would survive the pain and heartache, but I did. And so will you. Hold tight to your faith and trust God's plan. And soon you will feel happiness, joy, and love again, stronger and deeper than ever before. Never give up. Never lose faith. I am praying for you and Jenna. Love and hugs to you both ❤❤❤️

I have my soul mate, my best friend, my lover. I remember telling my Mum after leaving my husband...'I'm happy to be alone and have my peace' only a few weeks later, I met my now husband. What I've learned in the past 18 years. Everyone deserves peace, happiness and to be treated well. I will also say, that although I ended the marriage, I was completely and utterly devastated.

    The one thing I would say, being through a similar situation myself- Allow yourself to truly grieve, including letting your anger out. You won't really be able to move forward until you grieve. It is wonderful that you have a strong foundation in your faith , it will carry you through. Research the five stages of grief. It isn't just about death, it is about devastating loss. It may help you understand your feelings, and journal everyday whether it is writing or drawing or painting, whatever form. Then in 6 mos. or a year go back and read it from the first thing journaled and you will see how far you have come. It is something tangible that you can actually see and hug to your chest. It really helped me to do these things when my husband of ten years left me after 10 years of marriage. Losing 5 babies ( I am 57 now and was never able to have children} and almost dying in the process. He had an affair with a 19 year old and got her pregnant. it was devastating, but I am still here... and happy. Praying for you.

I said yes to opportunities I never would have considered before.

    Leonardo I'm so sorry for the break up of your relationship. I promise you God has a plan for you and he won't let you down. Trust me things will be less painful as time goes by. I'm pleased to hear you have wonderful people who have helped you in different ways. God helped me to cope when my mum died of cancer and thirteen months later I found my Dad after he unexpectedly but peacefully passed away in his sleep. I was given two years at the most to live and it has so far been 14 years. God has a new purpose for me just as he does for you. Stay strong you are in my prayers.

    The same devastating thing just happened to our youngest son. As we have reminded him in the midst of his heartbreak, “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11.

      That scripture has taken me through so many storms in my life. It is one of scriptures I cling to. Life is hard. And there are so many lessons to learn. But God is faithful. And, he who began a good work in you, shall bring it to the day of completion. Yay!!

    So sad to see you hurting so very much, Leonardo. Thank God for Jesus and your trust in Him. He hasn't abandoned you and is always with you. I have been through the hugest of losses and at the time it seemed impossible to know His plan yet many years later it became very clear. Promising you my prayers. You will find love and family again, I have absolutely no doubt of that.

    Happened to me after 18 years. Deeply shocking but also forces you to face yourself and ask why you didn't see it coming, why you projected more onto her, and your sense of the 'relationship' than was there...takes time to heal the psyche on all levels.

    It's a rough life event that no one predicts. I know this isn't something you want to hear, but it will stop hurting. For now the only thing to do is bear the pain, take it easy on yourself, and try not to let it destroy you.

    Somehow, this showed up in my feed, I am grateful it did. It showed me exactly where I was, a few years ago; sitting broken. I don't see my healing and recovery, as it comes slowly, day by day. Both my heart and prayers go out to you, young man. Time (an awful word, when you are going through it) and the Lord, truly do "heal all wounds". With your strong faith and support system, I have zero doubt you will get through this, a day at a time. You will never be the person you once were; believe it or not the changes will be for the better, with gained compassion, humility and maturity (although you see very mature!). I see all of this now, through the gift of time, healing and introspection, giving me hindsight. I subscribed as I love your message. God speed and be kind to yourself. 🙏❤

God will see you through & brighter days are to follow, as the Holy Spirit leads you. I am sorry for your circumstances. You have many of us who love you so. And, God loves you more than anyone else could. I know you have a strong upbringing in the Lord and that helps. Reading your Bible & prayer are crucial. May God bless you as you seek Him daily.

    Young love is a beautiful thing. We learn so much from each other, speaking listening understanding and true love. We also have to learn many lessons. And sometimes we need to go on our lives separately to learn these lessons that others can teach us. Growing and believe in ourselves that we will go on to a more beautiful life than we thought was possible. You will get through this because your love for God is always with you. Believe in yourself. 💙💙

    I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve been through. When we are in the depths of heartbreak it seems impossible to imagine a future where the pain you are experiencing will have dulled to a distant ache. Or a future where you will have the happiest and most fulfilling days of your life. But I promise you that future is coming and it will be so worth the wait. I lift up my prayers for you to the most high God, for your healing, comfort, and direction.

    I'm so sorry for your heartbreak. I think most people understand what you're going through because no one gets through life unscathed. We know what an utterly crushed heart feels like. Hard learning comes from this. While it's hard to appreciate that point at this moment, you will become stronger and more knowing. I am glad you have such strong faith. That is the best comfort and guidance we can hope to receive. Good luck and bless you.

Hold on, as we all hold each other! Remember it is always darkest before the dawn. You are not alone.

I was married for 25 years and my husband left me for someone he met on line who was 25 years younger than him. I felt ever bit of the broken you are talking about and even now thinking of it many years later I see that Jesus was so near me all the time. I pray that you'll see that out of your hurt Gods light shines to the world. God Bless!

    My last breakup what I found helpful was getting out with people. Don't stay home and mope and sink in to a dark hole. Get out even if you don't feel like it. Meet up with people, go for a walk in beautiful nature. Pack away the stuff that reminds you of Jenna. Try to avoid places where you have memories with her and seek out new places to enjoy.

    I am sad for your pain, but also wondering what God’s plan is for you and wonder why He allowed this. I have said a prayer for you both, that you get back together, or God’s will is done, that you are exactly where God wants you to be. I trust God’s plan for you and that the future is bright. You already living in brightness because of how you made this video full of hope and encouragement despite suffering. God is close to the broken hearted.

You don't understand why you have to go through some of the hardest trials and tribulations. Remember that your life has meaning. You have purpose. And in time, you will understand why you've been made to face this heartbreak. It will all make sense in the end my friend. Sending you healing energy and love ❤️

Now you only need to be kind with your soul, one day you will find all the answers and it all will make perfect sense to you. Go slow, this takes time. Pain will transform into understanding yourself and will teach you the most important lessons of life. You are lucky to experience this at young age as once you are ready to go on you will have a long life ahead of you living the best days of your life. Go slow, you are always guided and you can go through this.

    Spend time in prayer
    Turn to a good friend to talk to about the grief you are feeling.
    Talk to God and lean hard on that faith.
    My husband died unexpectedly. It was so hard to wake up after 30 years and not have him to lean on or just talk to.

    When my husband left because he didn't want to be Christian, I sat down and said ' I don't know what's happening Lord but I trust you ' . I had 4 children to bring up on my own. The Lord blessed me abundantly. For 16 years, I saw him provide in miraculous ways, but it's very important to live in obedience. I didn't have a plan, but the Lord did. Yes it's dark when it happens but over time it gets lighter and lighter. He's a good God. Trust him 🙏❤️
