Looking for the Silver Lining in Your Divorce

Lambert Law Office, your family law expert in Vancouver WA, wants to help you look for the silver lining in your divorce.

SunsetYou might think your divorce is the worst thing to ever happen to you. Maybe you thought you were going to be one of those people who was never going to experience a divorce.

Yet, we learn a lot when we experience a trauma. Some people say their divorce was the best thing to ever happen to them. Others have found true happiness after their divorce.

To find your “silver lining,” ask yourself the following questions:

  • Did you learn anything valuable from your divorce?
  • How has your divorced positively shaped who you are today?
  • Are you proud of the strength you showed during your divorce?
  • Are you making better decisions that support your life and values?
  • Have you found a new meaning in life because of your divorce?
  • Do you like yourself more than you did before your divorce?

If you can’t answer yes to any of the above questions, don’t worry. You may need more time.

Perhaps you haven’t fully moved on and are still processing the negative emotions associated with your divorce. Either way, have patience with yourself. You’ll find that silver lining eventually.
