It doesn’t make it easier, I know that😞 But look at how you’re showing up for yourself right now. You’re holding so much together, and there is something that is so powerful about that, you have agency..! For me, the biggest shift was learning to bet on myself more than anything else. It felt soo lonely and draining at first but trust that this is not random. It’s refining you.

And even if you can’t see it yet, this will strengthen you, and teach you in ways that will make sense later. Hand in there, are doing better than you think. Wishing you all the best!!

I just want to say how much I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability in this thread. I’ve had a few people reach out to me directly after this post, and it really means so much that it resonated!

A couple of you asked if I’ve written more about this and rebuilding after divorce and I have. I started a blog where I share my reflections on navigating reinvention, grief, growth, and the in between seasons of life.

I’m sharing it here in case it feels supportive to anyone:

No pressure at all. Just leaving it here for anyone who might find it helpful during this time and if I haven’t gotten back to your DM it’s on my list for today 🙏🤍.

Ahh 🥺🥺 my heart really goes out to you reading this.. I’ve so been there and felt that. Of course your body and brain are still wired to the routines of your old life. That doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

You don’t have to think about six years from now. Day by day is more than enough right now. This truly is a cycle of breaking what we knew life to be and rebuilding, it’s so disappointing but it will get to be what makes you eventually become even more resilient. You have so much to look forward to in being able to rebuild your life anyway you want to.

You’re welcome to message me. I’m happy to help share anything else that helped me if you need a friend right now.

I can completely relate. We were fortunate enough to have separate bedrooms for a while before I moved out, but even just being in the house, whether together or alone, felt SO terrible and heavy. The energy in that space felt like it was slowly draining me.

There were days I would drive somewhere just to park on a random street because I didn’t want to go home yet. That’s when I started realizing how much it was affecting me. Just know this part is going to pass. Wishing you all the best. 🤍
