Divorce Is Tough
Divorce is tough no matter how you look at it. Even the amicable ones. I try my best to not make the divorced person feel shunned, isolated, or alone. Many people do not know how to treat a person going through divorce and they ASSUME the divorcing person doesn't really want to be contacted, etc. So they don't reach out...and that makes the divorcing person feel even MORE alienated! It may not be easy, you may feel that if you contact them they will push you away, but it's worth the risk, I think, to be the one to reach out, because they are probably in a place of immense sadness and just not in a place to have the STRENGTH to do the reaching. So sometimes we need to take it upon ourselves to be the one to reach out. This has NEVER failed me, glad to say!
Reach out and keep reaching. It's totally worth it.
