When the Divorce is Granted

When you receive notice that your divorce has been granted, don't spend the rest of the day alone. Whether you hear it in the courtroom, on a phone call from your attorney, or read a snail-mail notification, you may feel like you're suddenly different.

You might have been the "leaver" or the "left." Either way, there will likely be a feeling of loss, emptiness, or something nameless but sad. Sure, it's a beginning. But it's also an ending.

Get together with a friend or two. You can even ask in advance if they'd like to join you after you get the news, just to hang out. Call it a celebration or just friend time. It's many things all rolled into one.

I didn't know that and went out to eat by myself. That's not unusual. But on that night, I wished I'd been with a friend or two.

Peace ~
