Yesterday, it would have been nine years since I received word that my divorce was finalized.
It nearly went by without my notice. For a moment, I wondered if it had already passed without my notice. Yet, that is all I did–i.e. notice it.
This response is one that I could not even imagine nine years ago. The devastation was so deep.
However, I share this experience as a way to encourage. Healing does happen. The grief can and does turn into joy. We can move on from our divorce(s) and find a full life.
