My experience with divorce has humbled me into seeing that although my story (as with every story) was very unique and singular to me, i did not need to feel as alienated from society as i did. Because as it turns out, i was not the only one who found herself in a dead-end marriage. Sadly, other people have had to experience this very strange and traumatizing loss as well. And if not this loss, then some other pain or loss that is equally strange and traumatizing. What a lighter load i could have carried if society had held space for the hurting, without pressuring them into believing they had to perfectly powder their noses before they were allowed to enter. What a weight that would have been lifted off my fragile chest if someone had told me i was wanted and accepted and loved with all the imperfection that was woven into my story. 

My dear human friend, you are wanted and accepted and loved, regardless of the mess that is unfolding in your life. Regardless of the hopeless brokenness you might be feeling right now. You are wanted and accepted and loved, and there is room for you. There is room for your emotions. There is room for your experience. Fully! Because you are worth it!

Last week’s conversation was where i dropped the bomb shell of my divorce and my experience with a new and liberating definition of quitting. If you haven’t already listened to it, i recommend you go back and give it a listen. 

This week we talk about:

• What comes next: the waiting period. 
• Digesting the weight and magnitude of our decision. 
• How society impacts our very fragile mental health—both positively and negatively.

And so much more. Life post-leaving (or post-making any life-changing decision) is very daunting. Life almost feels worthless. Hollow. And it is good to know that we are not alone.

Disclaimer: I will NOT be sharing the details of my divorce story.
