I hope that some of these truths about divorce are able to give you some comfort as you deal day-to-day with the reality of your own separation.

The first two years after a marriage ends are absolutely brutal. Anyone who has been through it can tell you that those two years are by far the hardest.

There are many things you can do to make it better for yourself, but often, it feels like you are stumbling through the dark without a torch, just trying to survive each day.

It doesn’t have to be that hard, though. If you want to talk to someone who can help you take control of the chaos and get on top of things again, reach out to a professional who can help you strategize on the next step you need to take to start feeling in control of your life again.
