Though going through a divorce is similar to grieving the death of a loved one, it is often much more painful and the pain lasts longer! The saying, “time heals” is only true if you are healing.

Time can hurt you if you are not grieving the loss properly. This can lead to lack of trust, isolation, anger, hurt, resentment, addictions, staying busy, workaholism, depression, etc. In divorce recovery counseling, going through the grieving process is very important for real healing to take place. Grief recovery is a very specific and critical process in recovering from loss.

Feeling sad and talking about it is not enough; completing the grief process is critical to real, long-lasting recovery. I would love to walk with and help you through this difficult time. There can a fulfilling life after such a significant loss!
