Hon, as long as you continue to work your own program of recovery, that peace will come,
I promise.
I used to get it in bits and pieces, like a butterfly would land on my arm and just stay there for a few minutes, beautiful! I could feel that peace! Then it would be gone, but that brief experience would give me hope!
As I've continued to progress in recovery, it is more commonplace for me.
Grief is a process, and divorce brings grief, my dear. Be gentle with yourself.
