Divorce Recovery

The devastation is often palpable.

That’s easy to understand when nothing is what you imagined it would be.

So many plans for the future… all of them have now vanished. There will be no happy vacations… no trips to the beach… no time spent together fixing up the family home… no growing old together.

Now, you probably don’t even recognize your former partner. That person who used to be the center of the universe is now like a stranger. In fact, it’s likely that you barely recognize yourself.

The grief and disappointment are undeniable… but the heartbreak is the worst.

Struggling to find that new normal…

Now you find yourself alone at company parties, unsure how to mingle and pretend to be happy.

Holidays are especially difficult without the routine of traditions that no longer exist.

There are no more invitations from those “couple friends” you used to have, so your social calendar is sparse.

The kids ask questions and struggle to comprehend all of the changes. As the parent, you try to pretend that everything will be okay… as you smile and push through the pain.

When does the emotional turmoil end?

When someone moves out? When the divorce is final?

When does the happiness and self-confidence return?

When the shock wears off? When you find somebody new?
