So, if I understand it WITHELD, the Lord has a slightly more inclusive definition of understanding than your immediate family, or in your case ex family. You have parents, grand parents, great grand parents, maybe some brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, all important people in their own right. I don't want to down play your pain, it is legit, but there are a host of other worthy people that in eternal sense are our will become your family. Ignoring those possibilities by focusing on your pain, might just cause more pain. As in all things, the wild card is free agency, and as the person who also addressed you, the compensation for the craziness comes later.

To Withheld comment: You have EVERYTHING to look forward to. Keep your Sacrament covenants. Go to the temple often and keep your temple covenants. You will one day receive EVERY blessing you desire. Rather than focusing on your losses, focus on faith and work to build your relationship with your Savior. All of your losses will be made up to you if you do these things. As you keep covenants to love others and to serve, you will also have greater joy right now.

So, my husband a past bishop divorces me (I am not worthy to be a member of his family and goes off to be happy) short story. Two of my adult children decide to leave the church and one of them decide to cut all ties with me. Where does that leave my celestial marriage and forever family? Not much to look forward to
