Healing From Divorce
June 12, 2009
Your precious heart needs love forevermore! Divorce is a rite of passage which is too often unnecessarily painful. As we mature as individuals, we recognize others’ rights to self-determination. When we feel betrayed, that’s the worst. If we can still be amicable, we are truly blest. Either way though, divorce is usually a solemn period of grieving a dying relationship.
The best option is to re-define the terms of your relationship as you may be able to salvage one of your best friends in Life. Allow the wounds to fester and you will live with a hole in your heart until you resolve the events that have led you to here and now.
Take charge of your emotional body the way a good parent would care for a child who feel crashed their bike riding down bumpy hill. Compassion for yourself will afford you a greater capacity for the man or woman who was to have been your better half.
If there is anyway to salvage the relationship you had with some, even if the divorce has been final for years, but you still pine away, it may been helpful to re-visit the possibility of a mature reunion, even if only occasionally to keep your personal growth up-to-date!
