Divorce

Divorce is not just the end of a marriage — it’s the unraveling of a life you once knew.

The routines, the roles, the dreams, the expectations, the ways you saw yourself — all of it shifts. It can feel like a loss that’s hard to name, emotional grief that’s difficult to articulate, and a rebuilding process that unfolds slowly, unevenly, and often unexpectedly.

This journey is filled with contradictions: relief and heartbreak, clarity and confusion, loneliness and newfound strength.

You are letting go of a shared story while relearning your own.

These journal prompts offer you a grounding place to process the emotions that come up, reconnect to your inner voice, and gently shape the version of yourself emerging in this new chapter.
