Divorce- A Year Later
I know y’all want the whole story. I honestly wish I could share more, because I know how much it helped me when others shared their stories and struggles. But I can’t go into details on why I got divorced. I can, however, share what a year later looks like and hopefully spread some hope.
Let’s rewind to almost 1 year ago- my world was blown apart. I can’t find a better way to describe it. It absolutely got harder before it got easier. For the first 5 months I was scared, grieving, and completely lost. I had no idea what my future held, and felt that everything was out of sorts. Emotionally, physically, and even financially I was brought to my lowest of lows. This is whats important, and why I preach about surrounding yourself with STRONG and SUPPORTIVE people. My tribe absolutely got me through this. They held me when I didn’t think I could stand. They pushed me when I needed a kick in the ass. And they always let me cry, rant and rave, and get all the emotions out. I will forever be grateful for the love and support they showed me. If anything, I hope this post encourages you to build healthy relationships with good people. With the right support you can make it through anything.
Divorce: A Year Later- Today
Fast-forward to today. Of course I still have bad days. But doesn’t everyone? What I can honestly say is that I am happier, healthier, and stronger. I have more faith in myself. I have bigger dreams. Most of all, I have so much more respect for myself.
So if you’re going through a divorce or a separation, please know my heart hurts for you. Please also know it will get better. Keep fighting, lean on your family and friends, and know that you can do this!
God bless you for this post. I needed this today.
I am so glad it helped Jennifer! I hope you’re doing ok!
