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!
