The loved ones Guide - for friends + Family supporting the divorcing
The Loved Ones Guide equips our support systems with tools and easy go tos to provide tangible support the people they love going through divorce. Oftentimes, when we don’t know what to do, we do nothing. It makes sense, because…
The Loved Ones Guide - for Friends and Family Supporting the Divorcing is inspired by my own support system and how they showed up for me during my separation and divorce. Some of the guidance is also incited by what was hurtful, insulting or minimized my experience. All examples are our teachers.
START HERE: BETTER HALF TO WHOLE ORIGIN STORY
Better Half to Whole came from sense of responsibility…dealing with the aftermath of divorce… to support with all the things unseen happening behind closed doors in our one bedroom apartments - or many a friend's basement in my case. I needed practical resources beyond advice about finances, court proceedings, or dating again; sifting through the messy stuff that no one could really help me with. Things like learning to trust myself again, decisions about wedding gifts, changing my name (or not), navigating changes to my social circle and family dynamic, being self conscious about my grief ruining everyone’s fun, and so much more.
