Divorce is never an easy thing, and there’s lots of advice out there regarding how to deal with it. I think that there are three definite phases to a divorce, and have put together a list of pieces of advice based on those three stages:
A broken heart is a terrible thing. It is, undoubtedly, one of the worst feelings in life! When you’re in it, time becomes painfully slow and all you want is to get to ‘the other side’ where there is peace and well-being – where you can look back on your relationship with healthy detachment so that you may keep the treasured memories, learn the needed lessons, and open up again for an even better love.
Divorce is not an easy thing to go through, especially when children are involved. Every child will react differently depending on their age, personality and the divorce situation. It’s a very emotional and stressful time for the whole family. As adults, we sometimes become so focused on our own stresses and needs that we fail to see how our decisions and actions affect those around us.
