Two Years After The Divorce, It Still Hurts for Some

Posted By The Graves Law Firm || 16-Nov-2015

For many people, the pain of divorce never goes away. They sign the paperwork, take their share in the settlement and attempt to live the life they had before they dedicated years to a single other person — but for them, it never goes that way. There’s always something that will remind them of the other person. It’s just the reality of divorce for some.

Writing for The Huffington Post, novelist Danielle Porter (who writes under the pseudonym Juliette Sobanet) discusses the hurt and depression she still feels two years after her marriage. Her husband leaving, who was her only present family, left a huge void in her life. So she searched for the answers and would end up writing a memoir, Meet Me in Paris, where she discusses things like a Divorce Landmine — finding something that reminds her of her ex-husband that sends her into a deep depression.

Her main trouble is trying to get her friends to understand without bringing them down into the depths she feels when she hits one of those landmines. She tried to explain, but could only write a poem to full describe how she felt. Here is an excerpt:

The Next Time

The next time a friend tells you she is getting a divorce

Act as if she has just told you that the person she has loved for sunrises and sunsets, for starry nights and stormy skies and every moment in between...Act as if she has just told you that this person has died...

Because that is what has happened.

The next time a friend tells you she is getting a divorce

Act as if she has just told you that the person who has loved her at her best and at her worst, who has been her everything for too many days to count...Act as if she has just told you that this person has died...

Because that is what has happened.
