When a couple promises to devote the rest of their lives to each other—to spend forever together, even through the bad or difficult times—divorce is not on their radar. They promise that they will work through whatever obstacle comes their way. But the harsh reality is that not every couple manages to do so. In fact, as of 2018, 39% of spouses end up divorcing and due to a wide range of reasons. Whatever the reason may be, separating is rarely easy. It can have negative effects on both individuals, as they close this chapter of their lives and wonder what’s next.
“Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” –Ann Landers

How Does Divorce Counseling Help?
There is no one right way to recover well from a divorce. The process will depend heavily on what led to the divorce and how it has affected you. Let’s delve into a few important factors when it comes to divorce recovery, by posing a few revealing questions:
- Was the divorce a mutual decision?
- Do you understand why your marriage has come to divorce?
- Are you experiencing intense emotional pain?
- Do you think this separation is for the better?
- Have you received closure? Do you still need closure?
- Did you decide to divorce suddenly or has it been a long time coming?
