Whether your friends are congratulating you or commiserating with you after you sign your divorce agreement, you’ve been through a grueling process.
It’s over and you’re single, again.
There’s often a sense of relief but you may also feel sad for the loss of a future with a life partner you thought you’d have, uncertain about how to co-parent, overwhelmed as to where to go from here, and concern about finding happiness again.
Many women feel ashamed that their marriage ended, worried about what others will think, and guilty for raising their family from two homes. The truth is, it’s completely possible to change the perception of divorce into one that’s freeing, emboldening, and empowering. Going through a divorce is a calling card for getting your life back on track. It starts with figuring out what your stressors are and what’s out of balance in your life.
