We dedicate this book first to our two beautiful daughters, Christina Marie and Abigail Lynn Solomon. In hopes that they will learn from their Mother’s experience and wisdom. We hope they continue to grow under their Father’s loving, cover. May God richly bless them both with favor and greatness that they each deserve.

Secondly, Healing Hurting Hearts is dedicated to all four of our sons, Joshua Jr., Timothy, Jonathan, Stephen and Sean our newly engrafted baby. We pray daily that they will grow up gracefully and be the husbands and fathers that Jesus, himself is calling them to be.

Thirdly, a special thanks to Reverend Brian M. Weatherspoon and Lady Crystal Weatherspoon for their Godly Wisdom, love and direction that they give to our family every day.

WHEN LOVE GOES BAD

Totally devastated! That is exactly how I felt on the day my husband walked into the dining room and exclaimed, Joyce I need you to let me go! Let him go, I thought to myself. What in the world could he possibly mean? For sure he had lost his mind. So of course I asked and Josh proceeded to tell me how he had fallen out of love with me. After being married to me for thirteen years and birthing six beautiful children (four sons and two daughters), the man had fallen out of love.

Who is she? Who is she? That was about all I could get out of my mouth. Who on earth is this other woman? My husband at that moment fell out in the middle of the floor and began to cry while telling me about Melissa. Melissa was the other woman. She was the other woman who had stolen my husband’s heart.

I stood there with tears streaming down my face as my legs begin to go numb and my heart begin to beat rapidly at a hundred beats per second. All kind of thoughts ran across my mind. I experienced every possible emotion in a matter of five minutes. First, I was extremely sad. Then I became depressed. Thirdly, I felt confused. But my final emotion was one of complete rage! I begin to yell, You have lost your mind! If you even think for one minute
