The Emotional Side of Divorce
Divorce isn’t just a legal process, it’s a deeply personal, emotional journey. For many, it can feel like a death in the family. One moment you're calm, the next you're overwhelmed by anger, sadness, guilt, relief, or all of it at once.
Sound familiar?
You may find yourself swinging between conflicting emotions. Love and resentment. Fear and hope. It’s confusing, exhausting, and, at times, downright terrifying.
Let us say this clearly:
What you're feeling is normal. You're not alone. You're not going crazy.
Nearly half of first marriages end in divorce. The number is even higher for second or third marriages. This doesn’t make your pain less real, but it does mean there's a path forward, and many have walked it before you.
The Hardest Part? The Unknown.
Most people say the worst part of divorce is the uncertainty. Not knowing what comes next. Worrying about your future, your kids, and your finances, wondering who you’ll be on the other side of this.
This fear can feel paralyzing. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to face it alone.
While time can help ease the pain, we don’t believe in sitting around waiting for healing to happen magically. That’s why we strongly encourage our clients to work with a Family Coach.
Family Coaches are trained professionals who guide you through the emotional chaos of divorce. They offer practical tools, supportive strategies, and a safe space to process what you're going through. With the right support, you can move forward faster and with more clarity.
Our team can connect you with a Family Coach who matches your personality and needs.
If you're looking for something to help make sense of this “crazy time,” we recommend Abigail Trafford’s book Crazy Time. It’s an honest, insightful look at the emotional rollercoaster of divorce and a reminder that how you're feeling is part of the process.
