Divorce
The word alone brings pain to mind, especially if you’ve
experienced it. It's never easy, whether you chose to
leave or your spouse does. The pain doesn't stop with
you, your children hurt as well.
Leaving the married life can be shocker! You might
have thought the grass was greener on the other side.
In reality it's brown and dry. Perhaps it's the opposite for
you. You are free from a bad relationship and now
relieved and glad to be on with your life.
Whatever the reason, there is a long road ahead of
healing and adjustment that each divorced person must
walk. If it's true that two become one in a marriage, you
have just been torn in half. The separation is rarely a
clean-cut operation. It is a tearing of the soul of two
people who were just one, filled with a vast range of
emotions tearing at you daily.

The Act of "Rebounding"
There's a lot to be learned in the world of sports. In
basketball there is the act of rebounding or more
commonly known as successfully gaining possession of
the basketball after a missed field goal or free throw. It's a
mentality some singles follow after a divorce wanting to
jump back into another relationship before the ink has
dried on the divorce papers. No doubt it stems from the
fact that we've missed the shot in our former marriage, and
we're anxious to rebound as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, you're not guaranteed to make that basket
every time you aim for it, especially if there's an injury to the
player. It takes time to heal and recover from divorce, and
there are no quick steps you can take around the
basketball court to win the game faster.
The kindest thing you can do for yourself is allow the
healing process to take place before trying to sink your next
shot. Remember, your goal is to win the game, not just
score a point. Be wise, take time, heal.
