Today I'm sharing Kessler's 7 stages of divorce.  Why is it helpful to think about the stage of divorce you may be experiencing?  There are a few reasons why I think it's helpful:

• often people transitioning through divorce and separation can feel very isolated. In reality, many people experiencing divorce and separation have felt similar emotions.  
• whatever you are experiencing or feeling will not last forever, it may be your present, but it is not your future
• other people have managed to work through their divorce and separation and find answers to the questions and challenges they were facing

On one level understanding more about the stage you are facing, can help put your experience in perspective.  It can also give you insight into your former partner and the stage they are in.  People rarely experience all of these stages at the same time / duration.
