The word "divorce" originates from the Latin word "divortium", meaning separation. This Latin term is derived from "divertere," meaning "to turn in different directions". The Old French word "divorcer," also relates to separation and turning away.

Divorce can feel like you've landed on the wrong side of love - the side that's turning away from it. All relationships are a delicate dance between getting close and getting separate. And that counts as much for the relationship with yourself as it does with an intimate partner.

When people build their lives together divorce can be devastating in losing not only a beloved primary attachment person but it can unravel an entire life you built together and the dreams that went with this life. On the surface, divorce can look like the threads have been cut yet the untangling of those threads can lead in to a rethreading towards new understanding and growth.

While 70% of people who divorce regret the decision and its lesson hard-learned, it's one thing to lose "the love of your life" and another thing entirely to lose yourself. Even though this is one of the more excruciating painful experiences you've had in your life, it can open you to awakenings that are bigger than any you've even known setting the stage for greater reverence for relationships with oneself and others.

Sitting in the eye of the storm this may feel an unwanted ticket for a ride through a dark night of the soul and one you'd rather not have in the hand you were dealt. Yet as you are divorcing or being divorced, this journey will matter to you.

Even the most heartbreaking divorce can herald not a breakdown so much as a breakthrough to a more honest exploration of relationship. Divorce can shake loose with it the lies you've lived with, were in denial about, or pushed away; and expose to your face the raw parts of you you've hidden to try to protect but not to heal.

Divorce exposes repeating patterns that led to the dysfunction in the marriage and invites you to evolve, grow and expand into moving beyond the layers and layers of settling for less than what life is calling you to step into. Not all will step onto this path and with second marriages many will fail at higher percentages than the first.
