“Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each other to see the other whole against the sky.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Divorce colors and changes who we are as human beings. That being said, we always have the choice to seek a joyful familial relationship despite divorce. I know, because joy was the choice that my family made when we realized that divorce was inevitable for us… my husband, our child and myself.

It wasn’t easy and it was a process we had to work through over time. We knew we had ‘arrived’ when friends and strangers started to comment on how unique our relationship was ~ and asked us how we did it. I personally remember when one friend told me that “you may be divorced but your family is certainly not broken”.

Divorce is a difficult thing to talk about for most people, especially when children are part of the equation. While the adults are immersed in blind anger, guilt, or heartbreak, children suffer from fear, insecurity and silent guilt. The devastation that always touches a family going through divorce can feel endless. Unfortunately, for some families it leaves a permanent and painful footprint on each person. But … it doesn’t have to be that way. You can choose transcendence and take pride in knowing that you did not cause insurmountable harm to your children or to any other human being for that matter.

I would like to share our story with you and impart what life lessons we learned along the way. I hope you enjoy meeting our ‘new sense of family’ … and I hope we can serve you in your own personal journey of transcendence.
