So, where do you start?
Start by assessing where you are in the grief process.
Educate yourself on the options available, focusing on what you can control.
Be sure to create a vision for your future, encompassing your aspirations for yourself, your children, and even your spouse (yes, even your spouse!).
Be pro-active in reshaping the family dynamic.
Envision what you would like it to look like and surround yourself with positive support systems and advocates who uplift and guide you through this transition.
Be open to embrace healing and seek professional support when needed. You shouldn’t do this alone.
Consider non-adversarial approaches like mediation or collaborative law to settle the terms of separation. These methods prioritize communication, understanding, and mutual agreement, fostering a smoother transition for all parties involved.
Remember, you have the opportunity to be the change in your divorce.
By taking pro-active steps and seeking supportive avenues, you can pave the way for a more amicable and empowered process. You’ve got this!
