Growth Through Divorce

National Geographic

Not often do we appreciate the growth we encounter during divorce.

Nine times out of ten, it's because we are resentful and wish it had never happened.

Not every divorce can be easy, but take solace in the fact that when we are done with this awful journey, there will be a reward at the end; a rebirth of who we are.

I have a quote on the home page of Divorce Dazed.
It has to do with the butterfly and it says, 'Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, he became a butterfly.'

Divorce makes us lose the person we once were (or thought we were). It thrusts us into a new persona and a new life...and not everyone is comfortable with that. Why can't we see that it's a chance to start over and become anew? And it might just be the best 'us' we've ever been.

Don't give up and don't focus on the past life you've lived..but look upon the new horizon and appreciate every tear, every hurdle and every struggle, because the BEST YOU is yet to come.
