Is there life after divorce?

Divorce is a major life stressor and chaotic especially for the person not initiating the divorce. I say this because the person initiating the divorce has come to the decision after months and even years of thought and preparation. The person not initiating this is many times surprised. There are many levels of awareness as there are people and marriages. By initiating the divorce I do not mean legally, I mean the emotional breakup. Many times the person legally filing is not the one initiating the divorce.
Jim Smoke, author of GROWING THROUGH DIVORCE could not have said it better in his book. He answers the question of life life after divorce as " unless you die right now reading this" He goes on to say that yes, there is life after divorce.
That can not be more accurate. As humans we, many times, do not see the forest for the trees. You can't just focus on the tree right in front of you. You have to look around and be aware that there is not just one tree but a forest. Get out of the little black box you initially put yourself in and explore who you are, where you are, and where you want to be. There is a great big world out there. If you remain open to it's wonder you will not only grow but may very well be happy.
