Divorce can be a difficult and challenging transition, and as a spiritual teacher and healer, I know this firsthand. However, I also know that letting go of the heavy burden of emotional baggage is essential to moving forward in life.
As we navigate this transition, we may also have to deal with the complexities of children, property, and business matters. The more intertwined our lives were with our former partners, the more complicated it becomes. But remember, this is not a game – it is real life.
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, you may be tempted to escape or give up, but that is not the answer. This is about life, and it is up to us to take responsibility for our own lives and make the best of the situation.
As Juliana Tabares beautifully titled her book, “One Life to Be You,” we only have one life to live, and it is up to us to make the most of it.
Yes, divorce is complicated, but how we view it is entirely up to us. Instead of seeing it as a burden, we can see it as a challenge, a test, or an obstacle course that we must traverse.
It can be helpful to slow down and talk to someone we trust about our struggles. When we share our thoughts and emotions with others, we gain different perspectives and insights that can help us see things more clearly.
Letting go of the memories of lost love and marriage is not easy, but it is essential for our healing and growth. While it may be tempting to avoid talking about our former spouse altogether, we must find a way to resolve those memories and emotions within ourselves.
As a certified counselor, I regret not taking the opportunity to speak to someone when I was going through my own divorce. Looking back, I know it would have been a valuable path to healing.
Remember, we only have one life to live, and it is up to us to make it the best life we can. Let us move forward with grace, love, and compassion for ourselves and others.
