I see grief as a process of moving through the depth of one’s distress and sorrow so you can begin to heal. Getting a divorce, whether you want it or not, is agonizing and traumatic. You are grieving many things – loss of your primary intimate relationship, loss of daily contact with your children, loss of some level of financial security, and loss of your future as you envisioned and knew it. These losses come up again and again. When you allow yourself to fully grieve these losses, you can begin to heal.
