Sometimes it feels like there is nothing more painful than a broken heart. Going through a separation or divorce can be some of the most excruciating moments in our lives. I’ve heard it described as “A giant tornado that I’m caught in the middle of—it’s dark, dirt is flying around everywhere—I can’t see out of it, and just when I think it’s released me—the tornado surrounds me again, and again, and again.”

POP QUIZ:

  • What is happening to me?
  • Why is this happening?
  • What’s wrong with me?
  • Am I not good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough?
  • Could I have done more to save my marriage?
  • How am I ever going to get over this?
  • When is this pain going to end?
  • Will I ever get over the embarrassment, the shame, and the guilt?
  • Why didn’t I see this coming?
  • Am I going to be okay?
  • What do I say to my children, my family, and my friends?
  • Is God mad at me?
  • When will I have my life back again?
  • Who would want to date me?
  • Am I too codependent to be okay on my own?
  • Is my anger, my sadness, my anxiety, and my panic—normal?
  • Why am I so tired?
  • Why can’t I sleep?
  • How do I face my loneliness?
  • How do I survive financially?
  • How will I take care of my children?
  • Will I ever trust again?
  • Will I ever be happy again?
  • My spirit is crushed—when will I feel better?

There is just no easy way around this: Divorce represents the death of a marriage. It’s the sudden ending of hopes and dreams. And as difficult as it is to face—the truth is: when our hearts are on the line—healing requires us to grieve in our own way—and in our own time.

There is no time clock ticking on when we will feel better. This journey is unique for everyone. It takes courage to recover from a divorce in a healthy way. Long before I ever thought about getting into the field of psychology, I went through a divorce. I know my way around this territory—and I know the way out. I’m here to meet you right where you are, and to walk this path with you. And, in those moments when you cannot see the light of hope—I can see it for you.

I would enjoy hearing from you and being a part of your healing and recovery team!
