Love hurts. When you’re on the precipice of divorce, your relationship’s specific circumstances don’t matter as much as the grief and loss you feel as you prepare to walk away from your relationship. Studies show the brain reacts to a break-up experience the same way it reacts to breaking an addiction. That’s why it’s essential to understand what you’re going through and how grief impacts your divorce experience.
This week on the show, we’re talking about the push and pull that comes when you realize you’ve reached the end, but you’re not sure how to start the next chapter. Plus, what can you expect when working with your lawyer around separation, contracts, and a little behind-the-scenes story of navigating your search for a lawyer.
