It can be hard not to feel like a failure when a marriage ends. But it can be both the toughest and healthiest decision you'll ever make.
The following has been adapted from The Divorce Recovery Journal by Linda C. Senn and Mary Stuart, M.A. Available on Amazon
"The only one who makes no mistakes
is one who never does anything."
~ Theodore Roosevelt
Our Thoughts:If you are sad and feeling that you're a failure because your marriage is over, reading this quote over and over again should help you come to terms with the fact that everyone makes mistakes. And like it or not, that's how we learn.
Look at your pain, benefit from it and give yourself permission to put it behind you.
Journal Your Thoughts:Remembering that you are a good and worthy human being, and as such, you've undoubtedly made mistakes along the way - choose to forgive yourself. Journal about the positive things you'll do and kindness you'll share when you start over single.
Whatever mistakes you made in the past
can't be allowed to define the rest of your life!
