Everything I Learned Along the Way

This is a blog about divorce. But divorce doesn’t happen in a vacuum and so I touch on all the parts of my life that were impacted.

When I meet someone who is now going through the process my first question is always, ‘How are you feeling?’ I start with this question because although divorce is often framed as a negative, I know that for some it can be a relief. I try to listen to how someone feels about the process and try not to impose my own biases onto their experience. It is the same way I try to approach the writing and ideas I present here for you.

As the writer, I have no idea whether you were the one who wanted a divorce or if you were blindsided by the decision of your ex. What I hope to provide by writing this blog is give you a home base you can always go back to if you’re wondering about how the process might unfold. And beyond that I hope you find things that are helpful as you emerge from this time and move to the next part of your story.

Take what feels relevant. Leave the rest.
