This week's blog post
Divorce grief comes in waves. Some of us don't anticipate it and are gutted when it arrives. Some of us are surprised that when we re-partner into a meaningful, connected, and healthy relationship it's going to feel so good AND also bring up grief from their prior relationship. Divorce makes us all really skilled at holding different emotions at the same time, but processing grief still deserves a moment. The experience of writing this blog post about processing divorce grief forced me to confront that I may always carry sadness in my heart for a dream that was never realized in my marriage. —Bethany
