Divorce

Divorce is an incredibly common commodity these days. No longer a taboo in our culture. The stigma that used to be attached to this formal end to a marriage no longer exists. Nevertheless, still shocking, painful and devastating to those involved. An abrupt end to promises made with the intention of lasting a lifetime.

The decision to divorce is the beginning of a long list of “last” compromises that are needed to divide those assets accrued together or separately. Memories are short. Hurts are long. Talking is hard. Listening is harder.

The division of real estate can sometimes be the most difficult to talk about. It is normally one of the very largest valued single purchases made. It was also decided upon by both of you; size, location, style, etc. Not just a house, contributions were to a “home”. It is a place where a family is started and nurtured. Somewhere safe from the world outside.

The pain does go away when you grasp and make your future. Letting go is the first and biggest step. Deciding what to do with it is the next. Whatever decision is made will bring you that much closer to your next happiness, it will come.
