The Years Since...

I'm sorry that you have had to endure all this loss and suffering.  I admire you though.  If it wasn't for wonderful people like you who posted their stories on here,  I'd be beside myself in fear right now. 

You can find love in lots of places. Even right there inside your own chest.  And the best thing about love is that it lives forever.  So keep your head up and know that there are people out there just like you.

Hi Rosie, thanks for having the courage to share your story. I contracted herpes over 30 years ago and went on to have two children with another partner. My kids are in their late teens now and I love and adore them. I still get outbreaks and my relationship with the children's father is not great any more. I too fear that I'll never meet anyone again to share my life with because of herpes, but just keep concentrating on loving others in other ways. 

Finding out I had herpes sure was for the most distressing episode of my life and continues to be a pain, but life goes on. I sure do hope you find the sort of love you had again. While there's life there's hope, hey?

Thanks again for helping others by sharing..
