When anger, disappointment or fear cloud your thoughts...you've just been told "I want a divorce"

What a huge mix of emotions, do they leave you breathless?

Once you realize that you are looking at a life without your spouse, there are questions and issues of emotional safety, concerns for your finances, your health,  and the care of the rest of the family - how to make it all work, where to turn, what to say to the world, even "what to say to myself?"

Inside, there may even be shame or fear to disclose that you and your spouse are separating or getting a divorce, and the reasons underlying such a decision. If this is your first time, you are also entering a phase of your life where old fears and events come to the surface, reminding you of unfinished business.  While this can be beneficial,  right now it's not an easy time and you may find yourself in the midst of turmoil. If there are children involved, they too have their needs, fears and other emotions. Truly a raw time for everyone.

Clear thinking is at a premium and the need for support is high. Often though, doubts and personal reluctance keep people from reaching out - especially if they are not used to 'airing their concerns' to strangers. In our fast moving times, many people have left their home towns and are not near family and relatives to turn to. Or, that may even appear too daunting.

It is not easy to ask for services from strangers, from professionals, yet everyone needs clarity for this time - know what questions to ask and be able to rely on those who can give support during this time. The financial cost of seeking advice may also be an issue, which would keep someone from the much needed information and counsel.
And finally, what if we're temporarily separated?  Read about it here:

Members of The Divorce Resource invite anyone interested to a free workshop, where we offer insights into the process you're going through and allow you to find both questions and answers that help direct your next steps at whatever stage you are at. People also seek our services after their divorce is complete. They are now better able to clean up unresolved issues - at a time when the emotions have settled a bit.

We are intent on providing clear guidance, and we know full well how important this is for the next steps in your life. Most of us have been through it before - and we feel it would have been nice to have had the support of a capable team. So we're glad to be providing such a service at this time.

When you are empowered and have access to resources that guide you the way you need it - and that is determined by your preference and individual situation - it is much easier to stay clear minded and forward looking. Such clarity also allows for the least amount of hateful fighting that so often characterizes divorces.

We prefer to steer our clients to amicable resolutions - it's easier on everybody - and especially the children.
