About Divorce

Donna Divorce is a life-changing event. It can wreak havoc on your life. However, like any crisis, it can also provide the opportunity for change and growth.

If you are reading this, then there is a good chance that you are either considering a divorce, or in the throes of one. Undoubtedly this is one of the hardest events you will experience. With the right frame of mind, good knowledge, and a reliable support system, it can also be a life affirming and positive experience.

Think of your divorce as a marathon -- it will take time, concentration, exerted effort and, most importantly, it will take patience. As you prepare for the inevitable ups and downs inherent in the divorce process, patience is mandatory: Set a pace that will take you the distance. By learning to accept that divorce is a process, rather then an event, you can begin to take better care of yourself, prepare as needed, and acquire the knowledge which is critical in making the informed decisions that will affect you for the rest of your life. If you rush through the race, without training and adequate equipment, you will run into problems. If you don’t pace yourself, you will burn out. Without building stamina, you can get injured. So, for all you over achievers out there, who want to rush through this process quickly, please, please, relax.

This marathon is about getting to the finish, not being the first one there. It is about you, your life and your choices. You are in charge of how you run this marathon, as long as you remember to care for yourself, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Don’t try and turn it into a sprint. Do not try to rush through this process. Pay attention to details, speak up for yourself and do your research. Listen to your intuition, but make sure you enlist support. You want to avoid mistakes and pitfalls that could cause regret later on in your life. You also want to maximize the gifts that can be inherent in the process. These include self-awareness, self-confidence and assertiveness. Enhancement of each of these traits, along with knowledge, skills and information about yourself and how you relate to others, are some of the achievements that can be yours.

It takes time, hard work and commitment.

You can do it!
