Safe place to fall apart

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance….

-Ecclesiastes 3:4, KJV

When a marriage ends, we need a space where we can be honest with our pain. Often times, that includes “the ugly cry.”

I encourage you all to find a place where you can honestly share your heart without being judged.

Maybe that is with a good friend? Maybe that is with a good therapist? Maybe that is with a solid pastor? Maybe it is with a divorce recovery group leader?

A song that talks about walking through the grief with honestly recently came across my feed. I find it a real tear-jerker. The song is about the loss of someone to death; but it speaks truth about healing from grief in general. Its message is just as true for those going through the death of a relationship.

May this beautifully sad song, “When We Fall Apart” by Ryan Stevenson, bless you as it has me:
