Needed: Encouragement

I am about to blow a deadline for submission for the "Chicken Soup" people. It's due by midnight tonight. And though it's only 8 ish, and I could feasibly submit as it is written, but can't reasonably let anyone read it. I'm a little bit frustrated with myself and will struggle with this until 11:59. They are publishing "Chicken Soup for the Divorced Soul" in October. And my initial draft was accepted, I can't finish it. I've been struggling for days. I can't just let it go. I get to a raw point in the story and it stops. I need a conclusion, some wisdom anything to make this all worthwhile. I just can't find it right now. I don't understand my own divorce and so how do I dare to attempt to give insight to readers when I am still grasping for the next day myself?
