When a chapter closes in our lives, we must grieve the loss and let it go. This is true with divorce. It’s the finality of mourning “what could have been” that is painful.

Completing our grieving, letting go of our partner and moving on becomes even more important if there are children involved. It is difficult to save our children from the ravages of divorce if we are unwilling to complete the work of ending our marriage after the divorce.

Many divorced people, unknowingly, remain bonded to each other through the use of anger, manipulation, and the refusal to negotiate with one another. One might ask, if a couple could not promote understanding during the marriage, why should they try after the divorce?
