Our culture barely makes room for the proper ritual and ceremony that can help us move through the physical death of a loved one, let alone the death of a life you had been building. Divorce is a unique form of loss, ushering in the grief of past, present, and future, distinctly shaped by your life’s circumstances (moving through divorce with children or alone, away from family, or with community support, for example). Like most experiences of acute grief, only those who have walked this road know the expanse of the wilderness that you are walking, the levels of isolation in a marriage-centric and obsessed society (relationally, legally, politically), and the various intersections that can add to that sense of isolation (religious background, racial identity, sexuality or gender, disability status, etc.).

Divorce support through Doors will be custom fit to your needs: it could be a one time appointment to land, process, and make a plan. It could be crafting a resource list just for you and scheduling regular check-in calls or home visits for you to move through your grief with support (a hand on your back as you scream, a painting night to craft mantras that will sustain you, logistical support in finding a mediator or discussing co-parenting schedules).
